Strange noise coming from Racing Beat Intake
Hi guys,
Just finished installing my Racing Beat Intake with air Duct. When the engine is on I can hear a strange noise coming from the intake, like a whistling high pitch noise. It's especially noticeable when in a quiet area or garage.
Is this normal? My guess is it's the sound of the intake sucking air through the air duct but just wanted to make sure with you guys.

also, the sound of the RB box will mellow out over the next couple days, so it's possible the sound may go away.
The awesome air sucking sound from the air duct fortunately will stay though

And yes I put a red cap on where the hose use to be when it was stock.
My guess is it's normal like all of you say. Deffinately must be the air sucking in through the air duct.
Thanks for the help guys. Looking forward to the next few days. I read that it takes a couple of days for the REVi to actually kick in as it needs to adapt to my RX8.
I'm Excited!!!

Nah I don't have any hoses connected to my REVi. The only thing I have connected is that electrical connection that goes onto the MAF sensor.
And yes I put a red cap on where the hose use to be when it was stock.
