Alright I replaced my generic, dirty air filter on my short ram intake like a month or so ago with a K&N filter of similar design. Anyway, now I have a kind of high pitch whistling noise from the intake...at idle. Is this very common? I mean, the other filter was pretty filthy and presumably clogged up so maybe I just couldn't notice the noise as much. It's kind of annoying...

im assuming you checked the seals on it and everything...make sure there isn't a little hole in the filter anywhere...also check all up the intake area u could have a gap somewhere...thats all i can think of....unless u went from paper to metal the sound shouldn't have changed that much from metal > metal

Therse probably a leak or somethign not fitting right. Check the seal from your intake tubing to your intake manifold.

maybe adjust the idle screw

Could be the noise of air trying to get past the throttle body. I have the same noise.

Incoming air maybe?

yeah, I'm thinking its just the increase in the volume of air flow created by the new filter...maybe.

Sounds normal to me.
