yeah, i get that on my car. I had my dad drive my car up and down the street so I could hear how the GST exhaust and intake sounded from the outside and it had a really loud high pitched whistling sound at high rpm's

I like it tho. It kinda sounds like it's got a battle cry or something. :P kinda like a spooling up of a turbo or something.

yeah, i thought it sounded like a turbo too! I was crunk after hearing my car, but I do want a louder exhaust. Are you going to the import event at the rock on the 21st, I would love to see your car in person?

I dunno. U do mean me right? I might go watch, but I don't wanna race my car yet. I don't have enough mods or $$$$ to race it.

I got the same sound. I posted about it a while back and had others with the same sound. I guess its commen with our cars.

I took it to one place and they said it was just the wind, I said your an idiot. Then I took it to the dealer when I had the recall done. They said it could be the transmission or a belt was too tight. Theeeeen I took it to another shop and the guy said its in the trany. So I guess thats what it is. He said it wasn't really a problem, but I wish it would go away. Getting sick of worrying about it.

Mod List:
-NGK BKR5E-11 Plugs
-Magnecore 8.5 Wires
-AEM CAI(thanx to endless73)
-GS-T Muffler
-Upper Front Strut Bar

I got that too.
It's way better when you have a cold air setup and your motor is modded out. More air, better.

I still think it is air going through the intake, cuz for one I got a manual tranny, and two I noticed the sound got louder after I modded my intake.
