i have no idea...at first i thought it was my intake filter, but i took that off and drove around and the whistling noise was still there. it's loud too. i mean shad from abacus put it on for me so i assumed that he did it right...?

i'll tell you exactly what it is. the port on the intake manifold and the port on the throttle body are not the exact same size. get them port matched.
