Yes sure sounds like a issue somewhere. There are more then 4 known people on this forum that i seen complain about there CAI intake making Whistle sounds and really there can be a lot more just maybe not here. While CAI claims its not on there end and the sound is just more obvious after installing their intake, then something should have been looked into more before the release.

What the status on this? Do you think it is something you can address? I don't want to just wait only to find out nothing can/will be done. If rather just get rid of it if so

Hello All,

This post is in response to a request for an update regarding a solution to offset the whistle noise:

Our R&D team is diligently researching a possible way to cancel out the noise, this takes time and we will definitely keep everyone updated.

Reminder, the noise is generated from the OEM intake manifold and will be enhanced by ANY aftermarket air intake system that is less restrictive. We have sold a large quantity of our new 2016 Camaro air intake systems and we have only heard about the "whistle noise" from approximately 2% of our customers.

We have done extensive research regarding the "whistle noise" since the very first day that we were informed about it. We have confirmed that some of the OEM Camaro6 vehicles do indeed come with the noise. Early numbers show that there is a small percentage of OEM vehicles that have the noise and there is speculation that different castings (intake manifold) may have been used (on some vehicles) during production.

Until there is a solution, if anyone finds the noise to be intolerable, they can either go back to the stock box (which will muffle the whistle noise) and wait for a solution or they can return their system for a refund.

Bottom line, we are here for our customers, we stand by our products and we are very appreciative of all of our loyal customers and great dealers!

Mine will be delivered on Monday. My car is a 2016 vert with a production date of 02-16. I will let you know how mine sounds once I get it on the car.
