Default Whistling when I get on it?

I have had the opportunity to get on my Z a couple of times now. I noticed both times that there is a whistling sound coming from the car when I go ful throttle....Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? If so, is it a problem, does it need fixing and finally...what is it?

TIA! Dave :thumbs:

Its resonance in the intake manifold. Its a known cosmetic issue. Nothing to woory about. After market air intkes make it loder since the unmuffle it over the factory airbox.
