Maybe a leak in the header? Check the welds - air escaping at high pressure can create a whizzing sound.

I had a rattling noise in my car once. I took off the trim under the steering wheel and found a lonely 1985 penny trying to communicate thru Morse Code.

would this be the same noise.
i have a few more mods done like cai, im, e, and the header also. My cai i dont beileve ths is bad but it make a whsttle sound and i am pretty sure it comes from my cai, filter, i guess it s just really free flowing. but if u dont have a cold air intake yes, deffinentily check the header bolts and welding leaks.

I don't know. I got up to the part where he said "John Wilkes Booth be damned..." That's when I found the President and pitched him into my lawn, never to be seen, or heard, again.
