Any one know why an intake would make a squeeling or whistling sound when i accelerate. It bothers the heck outta me, not to mention it makes my car sound like a piece when i drive by.

whistling sound is normal with aftermarket intakes...assuming thats what you have

 

[wannagsr]

or if you're just really cheap and you pulled the airbox

 

[tunermanbsc]

sorry i'll rephrase that, it has the normal intake sound but when i push the pedal down at a certain point it whistles like a worn brake pad

Exact same thing here my friend... I hate it Sounds like a boiling lobster. I have a short ram, you?

 

[tunermanbsc]

yeah, but it doesnt do it on my civic

 

[Kordaek]

All I know, is I either floor it, or minimun throttle whenever there are people around. Sounds like garbage. I have tried everything I can, including reinstalling it, nothing seems to work. I think its the filter.

thank our throttle body/intake manifold design for that one. its common, mine does it but i got used to it.

ryan..where have you been man!? you disappeared for like a month! glad to see you posting again.

What kind of system do you have? I know that my short ram does it but it's not that bad.

i like the whistling sound. i think it sounds cool

 

[DefiantGSR]

i love it too. lol

 

[ucyi3wl]

I have that when i first accelerate but its not really noticable after about 3000 rpm

My short ram used to do that also until I found out the metal was rubbing up against something. So I tried to move the hoses around, tightened the rubber that attached to the intake manifold and lubricated any parts that seemed to make a squeek and I have no problems since.

I have a full AEM CAI and it does the same thing.

 

[HooNiu]

my AEM CAI sounds pretty quiet...

 

[aznleaper16]

i love my short ram, it sounds amazing

 

[nospeedlimit143]

i had a short ram kit on my old truck... at idle it used to sound like a wounded dog... just kept howling... haha. the AEM CAI i have on my teg ocassionally whistles. i guess it's normal.

i had a short ram for a time and it never made a whisling sound, everyone thought that it was real deep and throughty. now i have a front mount intake and it still doesnt wistle, just makes tons of noise from the front. try a different intake tube or a ractive heatshielded filter. may help
