AHHH!!! another DX do-er!! i did the EXACT same set you got from bestcarpart too!! ya they are real good. i've had mine on my car since august, even went through a fender-(SMASH)-bender and they were still tight and not bent. i got the upper front, upper and lower rear on mine.
i also did the SAME ebay intake as yours, i had to trim just a little tiny bit on the manifold side (because im anal) to get it to fit my way.
the whistling your hearing is standard for any ebay intake. its the filter causing disruptive turbulance down the tube. dont worry about it, just turn your stereo up (thats how i always drive anyways).
Im putting a GSR into my car on the 5th so im gonna be selling my d16y7 and everything else that goes to a swap. Any takers?? motor has 145k on it and has been seafoam cleaned and runs GREAT. im gonna put a new timing belt/waterpump/tensioner kit on it when i get the swap done.
but ya, just use good judgement when buying on ebay, dont go TOO cheap with stuff. you have to look at the basic aspect of the item, compare both items builds.. its best if you can visit a local shop and get your hands on both a good one and cheap on and see the difference.
I did ebay strut bars, intake, header w/ a custom test pipe from a muffler shop (ILLEGAL), ebay muffler, ebay springs (Maxspeed).... so far the only thing out of all that that i dont like was the Maxspeed springs. they are ok, but stiffer then my eibachs on my CRX.
heres a pic of my engine bay without the header on it.

i got a set of those strut bars too and the did make a world of difference in th handling. honestly i woul say they decreased body roll by half. my civic rolled all over the place when i bought it because i dont care to slow down for curvs, and with these, my energy drink doesnt even fall out of the cup holder anymore.
look something like this.
