Default whats the wisle sound from?

I just got BBK shortie equals as well as a bbk x catted x pipe. My car wisles when excelerating in low rpm. To my knowledge this sound is from the cold air intake working together with the high flow exhaust?

yeah, somtimes peformance parts can set-up a small turbulance in the intake system that
will cause a whistle at certain rpm's. My BBK intake would whistle too and I've heard others
complain about BBK throttle bodies whistling.

+1 on the intake whistling.

My Grand Prix whistles too but that is because it is a intake gasket leak I think...when people ask I just say it is my SC.....lol

My car whistles too. Im pretty sure its my CAI. I took off the fenderwell part and the whistling got quieter and then I put it back on and it was louder.
