I just installed a BBK Cold Air Intake (fender kit) . The previous intake was a March Ram Air that a previous owner had installed. The March kit was below the bumper and was all busted up when I purchased the car so, I decided to change it out.
Anyway, now that the BBK is installed I seem to get a faint whistle coming from inside the engine compartment when Im on the throttle. Its not constant but comes and goes under throttle. I checked all the clamps for the intake and everything seems tight. Im thinking its sucking air somehow but I cant seem to locate where. Could it be the air is somehow making a noise as its bieng sucked through the inside of the fender? The car runs good, idles good. I ran out of daylight today and will start over tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestions ???????
Thanks.

Aftermarket. I did not realize this was normal. Very interesting.

March Ram Air = gravel shovel.

most likely its the TB thats causing the whistle (its a bit more noticable with an aftermarket CAI)
If its a Trick Flow (accufabs have the same issue i believe) Then this is your problem, and it can be grinded down with a dremel.
