Default Spectre Just Lost My Vote

Have been having a whistleing noise develop at idle durring cold start up + rough idle for 1 minute. Once trucks is at about 100degrees whistlings gone. Untill recently it whistles at running temp every time I ease off the gas. I remeber losing the rubber intake gasket so I am about to trace one out of a gasket sheet and I notice theese two splits. This could also be due to over tightening the air hat.

I had a Spectre setup awhile ago and liked it. Sold it to a buddy for $65 and got a 14x3 setup. It whistles until it gets warm but I like the sound.


Let us know how the Volant does.

Whistle is an optical allusion to pretend you have a diesel for a few minutes.

Man I would love a Cummins or Hemi even. 5 speed of course

The Volant intake is nice; washable filter, enclosed filter box, comes with the air hat gasket. It's a bit tough to get the hat on (I have no lift), It's also quieter than my spectra was. Oh an my whistling is gone.
