I did a search to see if this topic already exists but there is so many pages that I gave up. Anyways, when i rev higher around 4,5000 and up, my car whistles as it accelerates…a friend of mine says he had the same sound with his prelude and it was coming from the exhaust manifold…anyone know if this is normal?? thanks. adam ---

exhaust manifold is cracked and thats what you are probably hearing. Check your entire system for leaks. You may need to take heat shields off and look for soot buildup. ---

if it’s an exhaust leak you should be able to just stick your head underneath the hood and use your nose, if it smells like sh… it’s probably an exahust leak, and you can usually hear it loud and clear, it will sound like a small 2 stroke engine, a “put put put put put put” noise if you will. as for the whining… it could be a belt, it should be a pulley, it should be a window or sunroof that is slightly opened, hold the throttle with your hand and see if you can try to find it that way. ---

My boy had the same problem. we opened his manifold up yesterday, put some exhaust manifold liquid gasket (that shit works), let it dry and it purrs like a kitten now. ---

Mine whistles too. It doesn’t bother me. Although people do ask me if my car’s turboed quite a bit…maybe because they’re surprised it whistles like a turbo yet is so slow. B-Wurm 😃 ---
