Air box cover off "whats that noise!"
I have the comptech filter in my S2, and 8,614 on the odometer. When I take the air box cover off I hear this whisling sound only at low RPM'S . What is it any one know? It almost sounds like a screeching belt.

Pretty well all cars make that noise on tickover with the air box lid off. It's nothing to worry about at all. Some people like the whistle, I don't. It disappears as soon as you apply revs.

Basically, any CAI will make a deep noise in a car and some aftermarket cone intakes.

I still haven't found the right time to try that yet! Was out on Monday night, but mainly in traffic so didn't think it would be a good time to try it.... only hit VTEC twice
