Its normal after a cam swap on f-bodys. Im guessing its the airbox design, never really looked into why.

Mine whistles quite a bit. Not sure if it's the airlid or not as I have the K&N FIPK. I do have a ported TB with bumpstop mod. I've had several people stop me to ask if my car is supercharged. Unfortunately, that answer is "NO", for now.

Mine whistles a little now. It kinda sounds like the sound the wind makes against the windows of your house during a really windy storm. The pitch varies with the RPM.
