I think it's whistling because it's bored. lol, funny. and i got the little whistle too, but with the stock intake. i removed some little plastic thing in the airbox, and then it sounds like i got a little turbo running around in there. 99 V6SE Sport ATX

And it would be worse once secardaries open because of increased air flow. 1998 SE Duratec V6 ATX Ebay intake with K&N Filter Trubendz Exhaust Custom Hood

I dont have a heatshield yet considering I just put it in... Is this normal? am I the only one that notices at what rpm this happens at? SECONDARIES!?!?!??!?! then why does mine moose arounf 1000 to 2000 rpm? no secondaries opening there, iirc Originally posted by ZeroHour: The "whistle" is probably nothing more then the air being sucked into the filter.
