Default Whistling noise when accelerating
I get a whistling noise when accelerating from 30 - 35 when the engine is cold. Any ideas of what I could easily check myself?

Do you have an aftermarket cold air induction system?

I get the same thing, it chirps on the pass side and when revs go up it whistles like a supercharger or something, I figure it out to be a very small exhaust leak at the manifold, y pipe interface.

that's just my problem.
