Hey guys I recently put a pod filter on my NB8A mx5. Now if I crack the throttle open it makes a whistle sound... Has anyone else had this and how did you fix it?
Cheers guys

Re: POD Filter Whistle
I know the noise made by the IAC but this is a whistle only when the throttle is cracked open fast. I expected there to be some extra noises but this whistle is too annoying. Has anyone had the same issue?

Re: POD Filter Whistle
Yup leaks in the intake runner, pipe from the cam cover vent or where the pod attaches to the AFM might cause a whistle, I guess some weird brand of pod might whistle too.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
