Hmmm, I believe the general consensus is that it makes a decent paperweight, but that is about it... What whistling noise are you refering to?

I read some reviews on autoeverything.com and some of them where complaining about the noise or whistle after they installed it.

Those spacers always make a whistling noise from what I've heard. Performance-wise you're better off using it as a paperweight

They don't do anything for our trucks. It's the type of fuel system that we have in our trucks.

i am actually thinking about picking one up. because of my nitrous set up i might install the jets into the spacer, instead of drilling another hole in my k/n intake. i read a few forums that have people do this. so i may.
