I just installed my AEM short ram last weekend, and I like the throttle response. However, at a slow acceleration around 2000-2500 rpm, there is a whistling sound (not the sucking sound when I do WOT).
I think it has something to do with the small opening of the throttle body at that RPM, because even without any filter or tube, it makes the same sound
The sounds is not that bad, just noticable and I am wondering if anybody else has the same experience.
Do anybody has any idea how to eliminate this whistling?

I have had the same problem for a year... it's definitely the throttle body, and I couldn't hear it w/ the stock intake, but it's loud w/ a short ram.
I just learned to deal with it (by the way I think it sounds neat) it's not a detrement to performance though.
To answer your question: I have no friggin' idea on how to quiet it. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I have one too and I thought it was from the funnel on the inside of the filter,on the old ones you could adj the cone/funnel so it sits on the back of the filter, But I think the new ones come as one piece? Just me to cents.
Please correct me if Im wrong.

It does it on my Weapon-R intake as well. As 96IntegraRs said, it will not do it with your stock intake. You might pick up a litlle top end power with your stock intake. I love my short ram, the whistle reminds me whats under the hood http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
