Ever since I had the Airram installed, there's been a wierd sound coming from that area. Whenever I'm driving and I press the gas pedal more than half way there's a weird swooshing sound coming from it. It sounds almost like when you whistle with your voice at the same time. It's loud enough to hear it from the cabin every time.
anyone have the slightest idea of what the heck? I never brought it up until now, but it's been there since. I do have phenolic spacers and my cruise control has been removed.

that's very likely, could it be from the drag? I have an OEM throttle body and I've been looking for a 65-70mm with cruise but there are none available at this time. I checked, one of the tubes is kinked a little back there, but otherwise it's been a mystery to me.
do you know if it's a huge power difference without an OEM throttle body holding up the flow?

I have the same sound... It's almost like a turbo spooling, but not lol. I have a 61mm bbtb(I think), and it still makes that sound. I've never thought of it as a problem seeing how both of the Hondas I know with IM have the same sound.
