I just finished installing a C&L intake and tune on my '11 GT and couldn't be happier with the power improvement (especially noteworthy at lower RPMs).
I definitely understand increased noise is to be expected from the intake, and I personally enjoy the louder engine as well as the "suction" noise when accelerating more than moderately.
Not so cool is a whistling, higher pitched noise I get at very specific RPMs from second gear on. At 1,500 RPM and again from 1,800 to 2,200 the whistling will reliably come from what sounds to be right next to my left foot if I give the car any gas. It's not very loud but gets pretty tiresome as the RPMs I noted above unfortunately match cruising speeds in 5th and 6th
I've checked all the connections to/on the intake and everything is completely secure. My totally uneducated assumption is that the noise is carrying through what I've outlined in the pic below (sorry for the wonderful quality, I'm not sure what it's called):
Anyone have any ideas before I start hacking at things? Should I just learn to live with it?
