It should do the noise. Don't know if you can get rid of it cause it's a feature when it sucks air into.

the noise is the sucking of the air from thke filter to the intake.

not sure how to reduce the noise except convert back to airbox lol

Your intake is whistling, because your engine sucks!

How noisy is noisy? I have an intake on my Civic and it whistles like it has a turbo on it.

Hell, my CB7's stock air box used to whistle, sounding like an abnormally small turbo. Now she growls, because I took the air box off. Not the best idea, but it added a little power at around 2700 RPM.

lol mine whistles like that. I actually had an mk3 back down from a race because he said and i quote "dude, i know how fast turbo'd hondas are. I'm not stupid" Poor bastard got scared of my ebay intake....poor guy. He wouldve stomped my H22 too lol.

if my engine sucks maybe all your guys engine sucks too...the whistling doesnt affect the performance or driving at all..but i just prefer to hear the filter sucking air instead of it whistling..

[GenDBlade]

all engines suck guys. they suck in air so the engine can breathe.

what intake do you have and how dirty is the filter?

Got a buddy with a different filter? Try swapping him and see if it helps. THe whistling is caused by air being sucked into the engine at a relatively high velocity. At somepoint in your intake system, something is causing the flow to be disturbed in such a way as to make it whistle. It could be something you're stuck with (such as the flow of air crossing the vacuum ports in the tubing (like blowing across the top of a bottle)) or something you can change (like a poorly designed filter.)
