i have a 1998 mustang v6 and got a throttle body and air intake installd recently. now when i accelerate i hear a whisling sound. i dont know if its the intake sucking in air or what and was wondering if it was normal?

 

you are supped to hear that. i think. i know i heard a different sound after i installed my cai, but whistling? like blower, thats shouldnt happen. my sound is just a differnt sound of air rushing in through the intake

 

it could be the intake sucking air

 

yeah it is just a whistle like sound from your intake sucking in air.

 

THANKS

 

When you hear it push in your clutch a little bit if it goes away means your TOB is bad

 

When I first bought a CAI I got the whistle but when I bought the TB the whistle went away. My friends used to say that is ounded like I had one of those fake turbos.

 

my tob is bad so it whistles lol

 

yeah mine whistles too, i have a bbk cai. Im starting to think no one wants to have a go at me becusae of this sound =P is kinda loud. I have an auto btw.

 

yeah, sure.

 

My 96 v6 has a pretty noticably whistling noise when I accelerate, but my car is completely stock...Im not sure if its cause I cleaned out my intake, which has a shitload of sand in it from the dirtroad I used to live on, but I didnt think the stock intakes were strong enough to be noticeable like that.

Ive actually fooled some of my friends into thinking that I installed a supercharger..haha.

 

haha newb friends ftw!

 

Haha, word.

I was just curious though, could the belt be making the whistling noise?
Cause my ac compressor went to **** not too long ago and I had to have it replaced immediately, only I couldnt afford it, so I took it to a guy I knows shop and he threw on a chrysler ac compressor after some ghetto, emphasis on ghetto, rigging, and it wasnt making that noise before, but around the same time I had that replaced was the same time I cleaned out my air box.

Good thing though I didnt have pay for the rigged compressor, or the labor, haha.

 

my power steering pump whines.

 

my intake whistling too i have a bbk intake

 

Any aftermarket intake should have a pretty strong whistling through the filter when you rev or accel.

 

They sometimes do but it's not somthing that they should do it's just a design flaw
