It's kind of annoying and sounds pretty ricey....

I started driving with the windows down lately (pretty much have been up since the CAI install and the weather got colder) and when I step on the gas I can hear the intake sucking air / whistleing when I initially step on the gas, after that it can't be heard over the rest of the car....

I rechecked the install and it's good, no loose clamps etc...

Almost makes me sound like a ricer....

No whistle here. I am running a C & L intake and it definitely louder than stock but sounds more like a roar than whistle. Don't have holes in the intake for vaccum lines unplugged that could be sucking air do you?

Dude I love that sound

You can def hear my JLT intake, but it doesn't whistle. I've never heard a Steeda cai in person.

I'm running the C&L Street CAI. When I punch it or do a rev sitting still I can definitely hear it pulling in air! No whistle!.... but I haven't done it around any hot chick's either It may whistle around the right woman!

Mine Whines when I nail it.

It has to have a Very small Vacuum Leak Somewhere. Keep Checking!

I like it as well... I hear the sucking sound, but I don't hear any whistling. Sounds like a leak

i hear a whistle on mine but it is mainly the intake sucking in the air, i had the same problem on my old V6 but even worse, no matter what i did you could hear the thing sucking in air like there was no tomorrow even during idle

RedDragon777

but it reassures me that the intake is working

when I stomp it, I hear a slight "shhhh" sound for a split second, then it's gone. It's not very high pitched though. I have a K&N by the way.

Yes, The sucking sound can be best described as a SHHHHH, or a SSSHHH. I can not hear it when I'm actually driving though, only at a stop with the windows down. My Flows must be drowning the sound out. I notice that it'll do it when I shut the car off as well. It's like one final gasp for air...

My JLT does this as well, reminds me of the sound a turbo car makes when the blow off valve is releasing air. psssshhh

Mine whistles, too (JLT).

hamstang

Mine has always whistled under hard acceleration with and without the JLT intake..........

Cant say that I've noticed any whistling sounds, I usually go over all my hose connections and also check around the MAF area's every month or so to make sure there's no air or vacuum leaks around any of the seals..

Mine just goes "whhoooooommmmmmppppppppp"...

+1 I have the C&L racer and same sound! Reminds me of what a Quadrajet carb from the old days sounded like at WOT

mrkabc

C&L Aluminum here. Slight SSSHHH when you stomp on it, no big deal...
