Yup, it's the actual design of the throttle body plate and butterfly. The way it allows air to pass the butterfly makes it whistle at certain rpms. Nothing wrong with the car.

It makes people do a double take when I whistle through gears. It's especially loud on SRI

Yeah I have an Injen CAI and I have people asking me if its turbo all the time, then when i tell them no(which really sucks) they insist it has to be because they heard it wistle.

Guys, thank you! Now I can sleep easier. I have just installed Fujita Air intake today and I heard the same whistling noise at low rpms (usually when I press the gas pedal slightly). I kind of got worried since I thought I did something wrong during the installation (even thought I know I followed all steps correctly). Again, it makes sense what you have explained. Right on! Peace...

Lol I was thinking the same thing when I first installed mine. I love that intake though. I have worked with Injen and AEM and I have to say I like Fujita the best as of so far!

Absolutely, turbo sounds completely different. When I first installed Fujita I kind of suspected that the throttle body butterfly was making that sound at low rmps. However, I was concerned if something was obstructing the airflow which kind of freaked me out. I got used to the sound, and right now I need to say I really like it! I would highly recommend Fujita very much to whoever is interested adding an intake for any kind of Japanese vehicle.
