It makes a very faint whistling/sucking sound. High pitched. Almost sounds like a belt chirp when you are in the gas pedal

Question about Callaway Honker
Hi guys It seems like the honker has the best feedback and I'm just about ready to order one but was wondering if it will change the sound of the car at all. Thanks Rob

I have gone over my install with a fine tooth comb and pride myself on being able to use a wrench. I cannot find anything wrong with my install.

First you have to mark it with tape for your cut. Then you have to remove it.
Once you get it finally removed you'll have to cut it, drill the holes for the rivets, and rivet the filter frame into it. Then reinstall it. May as well count on using new fasteners to secure it to the AC condenser, as you will likely destroy the factory ones getting that shroud out.

Mine whistles too, just before 3k rpm -with the windows down it is audible and can be easily mistaken by other cars as "forced induction" noise, usually happens to me during 1-3 gears (mn6)

I am considerind the Callaway cai. The fasteners that are mentioned above...where do you get replacements. Any hints on a step by step removal that will make this easier. Are the fasteners clips or for screws?
