High pitched noise at WOT

[NolanRey]

Alright, so at wide-open throttle, Im getting this intense high pitched whine. Im not sure if its exhaust or engine located. I do have a customized air intake with a K&N air filter. People say it sounds like there's a throttle-body spacer, but there isnt yet.


Anybody encounter the same thing?

Oh and it also changes frequency at different RPMs (namely 3k and 5k)

You have the full cold air intake from K&N? If so that is probably what it is.

5k RPM is alot. I've never taken mine that high. I rarely go to 3k.

it is the K&N i ahve the same thing, and same noise.... i have looked into it and no problems are occuring so i just left it.

i recently cleaned my TB and i really noticed a higher ammount of TQ on the top end

Cleaning a timing belt? What gets on it? How do you do this?

Hmm, thats pretty much what I thought it was. I wonder how loud it will be once I put in the TB spacer.

TB as in throttle body, not timing belt. haha
