Has anyone had this problem where it makes a squeaky whisteling noise only at idle which sounds like its coming from inside the manifold? It just started this week and i thought it was a bad vacum line but i replaced them and its still making the noise.

maybe is not the intake, do you have a BBK throttle body, because usually they make a whisteling noise.

The BBK is notorious for the whistle.

Get used to it like I did, or buy an accufab, or motorsport. Supposedly they don't whistle near as bad

I took off the upper intake manifold and found a cracked gasket which was causing the annoying noise, case closed. And the BBK was never whisteling before so getting used that noise was not an option.
