Hey, sorry if this question was already asked. I tried to search real quick and didn't find anything. Anyways, I was wondering how to make my AEM SRI stop making a whistle noise. It only does it when I push down a certain amount on the gas. I'm going to be buying a new AEM CAI soon so I don't want to waste $30 on a new air filter so I was wondering if there is a quick fix for this?

Thanks in advance,

thats what its supposed to do i believe. that whistle sound is the air getting sucked in.

 

ya man, thats how its soppoed to be, CAI do it less, you cant even really hear them, but SRI do it pretty loud,some anyway, its just the air getting sucked..we had a big thread on this before, everyone liked the noise, i think it sounds pretty cool

 

Really? Mine is more of an annoying sound I find. Hmm maybe ill accept it then..

it's going to do it if your on the gas no matter what atleast that's how it is for me mine's not a hatch but it's a 96 and it does it constantly you get used to it and eventually your proud of it i am anyway lol.... i asked this question b4 so, there you have it...


edit: just turn the music up and it's all good LOL unless you listen to rap then turn it down...

 

yeah man, no worries...i have an AEM V2 and it whistles but to me, it sounds sweet, and mines extremely powerful...sounds it also!

 

Alright cool, thanks guy

 

It depends actually. WHen I first got my civic, it was making a whistling noise, with NO AFTERMARKET INTAKE. I changed the filter and cleaned out the box, and it went away. What kind of filter do you have on there? You could always try a re-charge kit if it will work with your type of filter. That should clean the filter enough to open the passageways back up enough to not whistle.

It should sound like air getting sucked in at a high velocity, not like a whistle
