Whistling Sound from Intake
After installing a throttle body spacer began getting loud whistling noise from intake. Gets louder w/ RPMs. Is this normal for the PowerAid type TBS or, as I read in a post elsewhere, could this be a vacuum leak? Doesn't seem to hurt performance, but then again, I may not know what I am missing.
Assistance appreciated.

Re: Whistling Sound from Intake
my MAF is descreened also...
get ready to turn some heads if you put the spacer in.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> (you may run into some space problems if you put in an CAI and the spacer...)
i had to trip my fan shroud up pretty good... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
