Stillen Gen 3

I have a question for those of you with the Stillen intake. Does anyone hear a slight whistling noise when accelerating? It only seems to happen from 2k RPM to 3.5K RPM and then I do not hear it after that. I know there are issues with vibrations but it does not sound like anything is vibrating plus I made sure to put rubber around the pipe where they would potentially vibrate.

What did you do about the whistling? I check the fitments and it seems tight to me...

I thought it was just the nature of it. It's more of a sucking/ baby turbo sound. I can only hear it in parking garages. Or it could be my test pipes. Haha.

the intake doesn't whistle. something is loose, probably your filters or a connection.

It's not that Loud. I can only hear it really faintly in a parking garage if I punch it :/

I checked everything again and the only thing I can think of is that the filters were really dirty (I bought it used) and the debris stuck in the lining of the filters could possibly make a slight noise. I guess I'll buy sb exhaust and not worry about anything since I probably won't hear anything but exhaust...

Anyone think it could be due to the debris and dirt stuck in the filters I tried cleaning them but no luck

If you cleaned them properly then there shouldn't be any more dirt and debris in the filter so that's a mute point
