this stops at about 10 mph ..I'm wondering if it is the fan spinning from the air going thru the radiator? may have to experiment....

I have this whistle, took it to the dealer, they replaced the t-tops with another set from a car in stock and added a couple screws that were 'missing.' It's much better but it still whistles at all speeds.

Ciao! Ted

I have the whistling tune as well. It is definitely coming from the engine compartment. It happens when I get on the gas, no matter what speeds. As soon as I let off the gas, it stops. Seems to be getting worse or mabe I am just noticing it more. Unfreakinbelievable, another problem to add to the list.

The whistling was there before the CAI install.
