hey guys this is gonna sound like a dumb question but i put a cold air intake on my 98 honda civic and i hooked everything up right but at mid range i get a squeeling noise it almost sounds like a loose belt but it never did it till the intake was on and i dont think it was a coincadence that the belt got loose after the intake. Any suggestions guys they would be greatly appreciated the noise is drivin me nuts. ---

its common to get an intake whistle after installing an intake. is it throttle related? ---

Sounds like it’s just the extra air you’re sucking in with the intake. So it’s a whistle and not a squeak? If that’s the case, that’s what I’m putting my money on. ---

I’d say it might be rubbing on something during a certain rpm. Like where it passes through the body. ---

Are you using an actual “cold air” in the fender/bumper or is it a shorter tube? You could either tack up a stainless box for the filter or put some soundproofing on your hood. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/honda-civic-cold-air-intake-problem/194928.md?page=2)
