Plenum+TB Vacuum Leak? (whistle sound)

RE: Plenum+TB Vacuum Leak? (whistle sound)
the whistle happens because the aftermarket plenum is bigger then the stock plenum so the holes dont line up perfect and a tad bit of air escapes creating a whistleing sound. It is perfectly normal to hear a whistling sound at half throttle.

I have K&N, BBK 75mm Throttle Body, and a C&L Upper Intake Plenum.
Absolutely no whistling or difference in air sounds whatsoever here. Of course my exhaust might be too damn loud to hear it, but I notice nothing.

If you guys know that turbo diesel sound of turbo spool, that's exactly how it sounds at part throttle. If i WOT i don't hear it. The sound is faint and I don't always hear it. It really depends on the exact throttle position. I checked for leaks tirelessly and i can't find any so far.

I noticed a little bit of sound when I removed the air silencer (I just have a K&N). I really do think extra little sounds are cool as hell tho...

Agreed.
The coolest extra sound I got, was removing the stock shifter and replacing it with the Steeda Tri-Ax. I removed the rubber bushings from the handle, and it made a HUGE difference in feel/sound. I can feel the vibrations more, and I can hear the tranny wind up and down. When I first heard it, I thought it was just badass as all hell. Now, I could NEVER go back to not hearing it.

It should be making more of a sucking sound than a whistling sound. If its more of a whislt then you probably have a leak somewhere. When i installed my Tb and plenum i had a minor leak, but i found it and tightened everything up and now its just more of a sucking sound. Go back and check everything just to make sure
