ITG maxogen whistle
jedi-knight83:
I decided to make a different thread as its nothing to do with either the open cone or the enclosed filter as the noise was there with both set up's
I've uploaded a youtube video. Ignore the actual video as I stuck the camera down in the cabin but if you turn it up you can hear the whistle on acceleration. And its just in the rev band that it whistles after each gear change.
It sounds like the noise you might expect from a brake squealing and ive checked and its in the pitch of high E so you know what your listening for :)

This video is with the open filter fitted. Whistle occurs at:
0:28-0:29
0:41-0:43
And most noticeable on the video on gear changes between 1:00-1:10
d=1&t=20s
Its harder to hear on the video as its picking up a lot of background noise but in the car on your own its more noticeable by ear.
Is this normal / expected? Just a downside of an aftermarket intake?

Crikey! So I turned it up on my super-duper Shure closed-back headphones and nearly got my ears ripped off!
I can't hear the whistle you are referring to at all :confused:
I know exactly what High E-minor sounds like as I have a flute concert tuned to that key.

Really? I guess i know what im listening for..
Go to 1min in as as im pulling through the gears you can hear it just before and after the gear change.

thats the same noise my maxogen made so i took it off
i want to try another intake but not spending £300+ until i know for sure it won't sound like that again

....Some folks (not me as I don't have the hearing range of a dog) have reported whistles on the Forge Twintake too.
