how to get that cool air intake whistle???

Foxfan88 · Oct 20, 2005

i took a ride in a guys car, he has the cheap Ebay CAI, it whistled when accelerating and sounded badass!

his ebay CAI is an actual fender mount. Is that how it gets the whistle??

HISSIN50 · Oct 20, 2005

A nice vac leak will cause a whistle, as will a hole in the butterfly. I think he might have an aftermarket TB with the hole and the CAI allows the whistle to be heard easier.

Good luck.

My cheap-a** Professional Products throttle body whistles. When I put the cai on, it amplified it. I personally hate it. Makes me feel like people think my car has a vacuum leak or something. I need to buy another and ebay this cheap knock-off p.o.s.

get a bbk throttle body

BBK TBs do it and it sounds absolutely stupid. I had people asking me about the stupid whistling they heard, so I dumped it for the Ford Racing TB I have now! If you like (Im sorry if you do) it, then go out and get a BBK or (I guess) a Professional Products TB! And remember the whistle doesnt make it any faster unless it is a SC whistle!

yeah he has the BBK throttle body so thats why i guess....

i though it sounded cool....

just4bob50 · Oct 20, 2005

I was going to dump my BBK TB for the same reason. I want to get an accufab 70mm TB

88-GT · Oct 20, 2005

Kinda wierd but my buddy has an 00 gt with a steeda cai and it whistles too, might be something with the modulars but he is still running a stock TB. If I remember correctly I think it started when he did his cams.

My accufab whistles a little bit under part throttle, but when I go full, I cant hear anything over my exhaust.

I also have a MAC CAI...

if its a tb whistle its because the inlet pipe is not straight. bbk is not garbage at all amnit: . i had the whistle with my stock tb when the inlet pipe was not on straight.

and foxfan, i think the noise that you are refering to is not the same whistle, its the air coming through the filter.

just my .02

legalize420 · Oct 20, 2005

i used to have the ebay one too. not garbage, same as the mac or bbk

Foxfan88 · Oct 20, 2005

his whistle was a dry sounding scream, probably was the CAI, and it could be that the pipe isnt straight, he said the Ebay CAI is cheap and he has to cut and file to get it to fit good.

i think i may buy one, it looked good under his hood and i was going to buy one before but never did...

DMAN302 · Oct 20, 2005

If the only shiney item going to be under the hood is a pc of half assed intake tubing..I'd be more inclined to paint up the original box. Not only will it work/look/fit better it may well save me from accidently reading a post later where you've somehow convinced yourself your car has become faster as a result of it. Oh and as for buying an item like that so you can hear a "whistle sound"...I'm not really sure I even want to get myself started on that. Save all the cash for when you start your rebuilt and t-5 swap...trust me you'll need more than you'd expect.

dilligaf · Oct 20, 2005

I think it must be the bbk. Mine does the same exact thing.

Dbeck002 · Oct 20, 2005

That is the sutpidest ****ing thing ive ever heard.

my bbk whistles and i cant stand it, it doesnt sound 'badass' it sounds broken.
