I was just wondering if anyone else has the stock intake box with this same whistle. Sometimes when i accelerate or when im just cruising down the highway i can hear a slight whistle. It sounds like its coming form the throttle body. Im thinking it might be the air going by the buterfly valve. Is there any known way to eliminate this whistle or is is something you just have to live with?

 

As far as I know that's how it is....... and there is nothing you can do.... it is normal.....

 

everyone else loves intake whistle

 

Mines does it too... I love it... I wish it were louder...

 

Thanks for the replies. I was just checking to make sure it was a normal thing.

 

when i first got my car it had a slight whistle, when i popped the hood i noticed one of my 2 clamps holding the air filter in wasn't clipped on. once i clipped it back into place it went away. now of course i have an injen intake and it whistles all the time

 

mine roars a little, but my car is really slow now... so it's an MAF failure, and my car stalls, so that's the TB being dirty... check your intake first

 

Yup, mine does this also, but only at 2/3rds throttle and up....yea It's cool...

 

yes always between 2000 RPM -2500RPM.... expecially after i put in the k&n filter....

 

yeah me too, esp after i put in turbo harhar... you guys aren't helping bostonmax84

 

Why aren't we helping? He wanted to know if it was normal, and we're all reaffirming that it is.... considering he already knows what it is....

 

i'm talking about lalamax and y2ksilvahse

 

Gotcha...

 

the whistle is the airflow over the butterfly valve on the throttle body. It is quite normal. With the stock airbox, most people can't hear it at all, but if you have a short-ram intake, it's quite apparent. It used to annoy me a little, but I actually like it now....

 

If you think that's bad, I have a true cold air place racing intake, the filter sits by the wheel well, my whistle is louder than the exhaust (I have a greddy evo and a still y pipe), people think that my car is turboed..It's pretty amusing..

 

yah man u did help a lot hahaha
