Loud squeaking from new intake

[BlackInAction]

So I just installed my Injen SP SRI yesterday, and I went out to hear it this morning, drove around a bit. And I'm noticing a pretty loud squeaking sound coming from the intake around 2800~3500 RPMs. An area I stay in a lot, hence, you can hear the sound a lot. It's annoying as f*ck.

I've heard that aftermarket Intakes don't have the resonators that stock airboxes do have, these resonators take away the sound of the butterfly valve in the throttle body moving around. However, I can't imagine it's moving around when I'm sitting at the same RPM...so what could it be? Has anybody else had this problem?

Try and clean your throttle body.. You might have some build up that's making it whistle

Made sure to check that while I was installing

Squeaking or whistling?

They do that. I'm missing the top of my stock air box and I hear it on my ls.

Mixed reactions
It almost sounds like the squeaking you would get from run down brakes, if that helps.

Also, I just remembered, the squeaking/squealing/whistling/whatever you call it is effected by amount of throttle, not RPMs, sorryyy.
But you guys already seem to have come to a conclusion haha
