Intake Whistle?

[Chris Kulbaba]

I installed my new MAC intake on friday, works great... I just had a small question..



I can hear it sucking air, but when I step on the gas, it makes a little whistle sound, is this normal, or is there a way to stop that?



Thanks!



Its not a big problem, im more wondering than anything else.

It is very common, but I dont think any one has found out the problem (correct me if Im wrong?).

Very Very Common when replacing the stock air intake.....seems to be the way the air filter sucks in air via the front open end since it's out of the airbox and is "free flowing" out of the box. What I've tried and somewhat has worked for me was adding a Tornado Airflow to the intake pipe. Seems it gives a better flow to the air being sucked in and reduces most of the time the whistle that is heard.

I had heard it was very common with the K&N but not so much with the MAC. No whistle with my MAC.
