Default Bama tune plus stock air box question

Hey guys I just received my Bama tuned SCT tuner and I have the tune set to the 91 octane race tune. I have the stock airbox and I noticed when I give it some gas I get a whistle, almost as if I have a CAI. Is the whistle normal? It sounds cool, I just want to make sure there isn't anything wrong.

I was worried because I never noticed that whistle until I got the tune installed.

Why just the tuner with no CAI?

Although the CAI provides less gains on the '10 than the 05 thru 09, it still helps and looks sweet, too. I was wondering the same thing.

Very normal, take off the snorkel on the air box and you're good !!! Mine makes the same sound along with other noises I wish I never had.

Maybe a year of so. I am planning to purchase the full exhaust next (headers, mid-pipe and cat back) and after that probably some new cams and then the blower.
