Ok when I accelerate I hear this whisping noise. I think it may be an exhaust leak or possibly a leak in the intake. It only happens while in gear and moving. I cannot hear it while the car is idle in park and reving the engine. Its any ideas????? Its pretty cold here oddly enough and I still have the intake mod on as well.

THinking about putting the stock intake back on

 

it could just be your trans. whistlin at you thats all probably and from just the gears and stuff but get it checked in case

 

mine does it too... i think its coming from the intake.... it kinda sounds like a turbo ish sound... (haha i wish) and its only when i like jam on the gas..

 

exactly...I wonder if its the intake mod because of hwo cold it is....I will put stocky back on and test tonight

 

is it bad to have the air intake when cold weather hits? i dont even know.. Lol

 

The colder the air, the better the car performs. I ran my AEM Cold Air Intake in -22 Degrees Celcius last year and the only side effect was my car had massive amounts of power with that kinda cold air.

 

my car also makes the same noise

 

It might be your farad capacitor. You should think about upgrading to this years Flux model!

 

does it sound almost like if you had a leaf stuck in your air vent kinda sound, like a soft, strange crackly kind sound? but coming from the engine area?

if so, mine used to make that when it was getting knock/spark blowout.

What octane do you use? are you fully stock?

 

mine has done the same thing since right off the lot i believe its just the intake and yeah im still stock (still trying to get funds for extra's little hard with rent and bills haha)
im pretty its the intake.. doesnt seem to hurt it none so meh.

 

His isn't supercharged so I highly doubt that he would get knock.

When did you first notice the noise? Does it seem like it is affecting the car in anyway? Check engine light? Engines make a lot of different noises. That is why the stock intake has mufflers and baffles. It keeps it quiet so you don't hear the whistling or hissing of air being sucked into your engine.

 

Its the intake. Actually, its the air rushing over the partially open throttle body when you step down. You can hear it because the aftermarket intake does not have the sound dampening properties of the factory system. Normal, if thats what it is anyway. Sounds like that from your description.

 

my car began doing that when i installed the K&N filter, but i have to floor it n be in a not so strong gear. I think it sounds very nice.

 

started doing it like 2 weeks ago. I put the stock intake on and it still does it. It is not effecting the performance just bugs me. It does sound like a cracking noise off a leaf kinda.

 

its alright thats just your turbo. . . alright now im serious, i know my vents make a whistling noise, always catch my self turning off the vents and air because of the noise

 

i put the stock intake back on and i havnt herd the noise again
