Why does my intake Whistle like a turbo?
Ok everyone I installed the injen CAI and now my car whistles loudly kinda like a turbo but without the power to back it up. I check all my clamps today and everything appeared to be tight, but my car still whisltes... it whistles more than my 5.0 explorer does. Is this common amoung 4 cycle cars with intakes. I don't think it is becuz all the video clips on here I do not hear what mine sounds like. So I grab my camcorder and try to mimic it and the video camera does not pick the sound up that well. Is this something I should worry about or do you think that with an exhaust the problem would be fixed since more air is coming in and more air is also going out?

Same as you. The other video cameras dont pickup the sound either. Everyone on here that has a cai can tell you the "turbo"ish sound is normal.

it whistles even with the stock airbox... the intake just makes it more audible.

it only does it at lower rpms when accelerate or backing off the accelerated so I did not know. But like I said there is absolutely no whistle when getting on the throttle hard. Thanks everyone I just wanted to make sure everything was alright.

yeah, it is usually at about 2500 rpm when only partially opening the throttle.
