Whistling noise

RE: Whistling noise
The noise is most definitely NOT a belt squeal. It sounds just like someone whistling out of their mouth. And I don't think it's the intake. Because I heard that noise before. After I upgraded my air intake, the whistling is still there. It's been about 6 months of good solid driving so far, and the noise hasn't done a single thing harmful. So I'll safely assume it's harmless. But I'm still curious...what exactly IS it? My friend has a 96 RS, and his ran without the noise, even when the needle shot up to 4-5. And his car has over 180k miles on it.

RE: Whistling noise
nah, i will say it can't be that... have you ever heard an exhaust whistle? the exhaust pulses are to inconsistent to make a whitsle noise... if it was the manifold it'dbe a somewhat of a ticking, and if there was a hole later in the exhaust it be just like it was coming out of the muffler only a little louder... so no, it wouldn't be a hole in the exhaust, it's the air intake, and it WILL NOT cause any damage to your car... why are we still going over this?
