my vl used to whistle thru first 2... sounded like spooling a tad... i noticed it more after the cold air intake... so its probably just the engine sucking air and with the cold air piping, i had drain holes in it, and possibly making a whistle.... i don't know but... but probably close to what it was :mrgreen:

My R31 whistales as well but i found it to be the flange gastkit. I also found a small hole in my manifold which i think it prob is. it only does it after 3500rpm so it sounds like a turbo coming on boost so i hann't fixed it. :twisted: Why would i when i can rev with a spool :twisted:
