over... then there you go. Actually, that noise may have already been there, but you were just listening for more hp/tq, and instead you got the same whistle that was there before along with a sharper throttle response.

I'd have to remove my intake also to snap some pics.

I'd do it, but its been so damn cold around here - I cant stay outside long enough to get everything off the car & remove the thing.

maybe by this weekend, if the weather breaks some.

Default Here is the pic....

Ok Guys....

This is the area of the intake that is the problem.....it has an extremely sharp lip there that needs to be radiused to effectively remove the infamous 78 mm FAST whistle. Dont be shy with the grinder....the larger the radius the better.

No more annoying whistle when finished!
