It's normal. I thought that maybe my filter wasn't on tight enough, but others here all have the same whistling, so I'm not worried.

My CAI only whistles at certain RPMs. If I'm gasing it a little more or less then I don't hear it. If I have the windows up and the radio on, I can't hear it.

do the cai and the stillen intakes sound similar? cause everyone seems to like how the stillen intake makes a deep growling sound.

aren't intakes supposed to make a hissing sound do to the suction of air. my cousins friends civic makes a nice growl from the intake it sounds sweet.
