Have any of you guys that installed a Plenum from Accufab, C&L, or Dragon, experienced any extra WHOOSHING sound?
If so did you guys also install a new TB with it?
Im bebating getting one after my full exhause goes on in mid to late March, but I know just my BBK CAI makes a very noticable whooshing sound just by itself. If the Plenums and TB add to much more, its going to sound like there is a hole in my dash somewhere at a decent throttle! Im hoping the L/T's and mid pipe will make more noise to equal out what the Plenum/TB might add .
Any thoughts, complaints, comments, ideas, ramblings, or words of wisedom?

The whistling is pretty typical of most plenum and cold air set ups. Completely normal.

I know the noise is typical with a CA setup, but Im worried about just how loud this sound could get you know.
Nice #'s by the way redfire. I saw the mods in your sig, but was the hp/trq improvement due to just adding the plenum, or what exact mod(s) did that for you?

Your LTs will make noise you don't like either.
