Default Induction whistle

Hi Guys

I have a K&N typhoon induction kit fitted and when I accelerate normally I get an annoying whistle sounds bit like fan belt slipping (but not before people say).

Has anyone else suffered this noise? If so did you cure it? May put standard box back in

It's normal from my experience and I don't think you will find an easy solution to it unfortunately.

I have a K&N Typhoon I fitted myself and I have absolutely no whistle or annoying noise. Just sounds great!

Did you fit the induction kit yourself?

Im had this on the standard set up, and with the K&N typhoon I now have. I checked the whole install for leaks, and found none. I'm lead to believe it's the air pump, and as such, we have to live with it.

I find to alieviate it, just accelerate hard everywhere

I've had it on a number of Hondas. My S was the same with the standard airbox, and I looked everywhere for airleaks. It's probably the filter itself.
