I took my truck in to the dealership for a oil change and to find out why my truck is whistling between 1500 and 2000 RPM. The said that all k&n cold air intakes make the noise due to the plastic tube? Is that true or is the something else making the noise?

IIRc, almost all aftermarket intakes have been reported to have an increase of the whistle. Do a search through the performance forum, you can see which ones are more notorious of it than others.

Just don't get a throttle body spacer if you don't like the whistling

Why how bad does the whistle get?

Most TBS will make a whistle....I have a AEM Brute Force CAI and no whistle what so ever...I love this thing.

The Frame Boost I put on my old Ford made a whistle as well. I tightened all the screws and fasteners and the whistle stopped. It was really annoying. I havent put one on my Titan yet, but if they have a bad problem this is good info to know.

Thanks
