Throttle Body Rushing noise (whistle)

Just installed a k&n FIPK MAF system with 75mm bbk Throttle body and elbow. Car performs great but there is an annoying rushing almost whistle at 1000-2000 RPM. Is this normal? It is not that bad and I hear that it might be turbulance...But just curious to see if I am just being to ****???

Grey Metalic 2003 GT, Flowmaster EX, K&N MAF, 75mm TB and Bow, All Synth Fluids.

I would personally have to surgest you to re-tighten all your clamps. Possibly something is alittle too loose, and sucking unfiltered air in. Otherwise i would contact K&N.

Also, make sure that a hole is fully drilled thru the ID of the vacuum line nipple on the K&N CAI(it's located on the left side of the CAI when facing the front of the engine compartment just ahead of the throttle body).
