Intake whistle!

I know some cars have a whistle when they have a CAI. But my intake is bone stock and it whistles. I want to put an intake on, but im affraid if i do the whistle will be much louder and i wont be able to stand it. Does anyone elses stock intake do this also?

My stock intake 'whistled' very slightly during certain throttle angles.

Yes that's strange. Never had any sort of whistle with stock or Injen until I installed the IM spacers from NWP. LoL now at WOT it sounds like a supercharger. Pretty cool!

Yep. This one time I got this rash on my leg from this dog humping it. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me some Seafoam, and it worked so good the dog cleared up too.
