I like the whistle. It makes me feel "special".

 

.....me too..especially when people think it is a turbo!!!!

 

thats true... i mean... when i was driving my car and my fren was driving his car and we were next to each other, he told me when i rev high and changes gear it sounds like i have a BOV in my car.. LOL and im like KEEEWWWL

 

I'm gonna have to shamefully admit, I too like the whistle. Infact I'm pretty sure it's a ploy of the oil industry to make me use more gas because I like to step on the throttle just to hear it. So how do I make it louder, step by step would be nice. Is it reversable if I do it and it's obnoxious?

well in a diff forum someone said they install the kn cai and it still made the noise so right now no one knwos were it comes from...but i would like to now too...

 

I know. And you would too if you read my post:

It's the sound the air makes going through the intake. Aftermarket intakes normally make this sound, and Scion designed the stock intake to make a similar sound.

 

Because you touch yourself at night.

 

It's called suction my friend, suction......

 

the whistling sound comes from air russhing through the throttle body at a given speed. and it is louder with the k&n cai. i liked it at first but now its just getting annoying.

 

hay guyz, if you awant teh wistel to be sooper laud, then jus opan up teh airbox a lil bit so it reasts on teh clips instead of teh clips holding teh airboxor clsed, that way people will think teh car is usng teh TURBO AND CAI LOLL AM I RITE?

 

Airbox? Who needs an airbox? I just took mine out and threw it away, along with the filter. Now it's super loud and my car's lighter and faster...

 

OK, I resisted as long as I could, but three weeks is as long as I could take it. Sorry!

Because it forgot the words...

 

i believe all of the toyotas do it. my friend has an IS300 with a sri and his is very loud. my guess it is from the vvt-i just as hondas v-tec have their own distinct sounds.
