Did it sound like that from day one or you have noticed it getting louder?

Cell phones make pretty good vids but the sound recording is usually not what the ear hears, enhancing certain sounds and muffling others.

You can always loosen the belt and slip it off and spin each component (pulleys and idlers), wiggle them up and down and in and out.
I will get a video just like your first and third one, when I get home tonight.

Here's my video Mike.S, if you need me to zero in on something just let me know.

I've had a chance to listen to your vids on my PC, sounds different than on my phone,

It might just be that the Whipple is new and new to you, maybe that's all it is?

Mine is well broken in now, I have 13,000 miles of all city driving on mine.

Thanks guys! You guys are awesome! I'm definitely hearing a difference between your vids and mine, especially inside the cab. It's really hard to pin point the sound. Today I bent down to look under the truck and I could hear it down there. It just sounds like it's coming from everywhere.

I'm going to send the vids to Stillen to see what they think about it. If it's some kind of air leak, perhaps that could explain why my hp numbers are a little low.

p.s. Is this website having problems today? I've hard a difficult time viewing this site all day.

FRF website had big problems today.

Does your SCT Tool give you live data?

I'm not sure if it does. I do have an OBD scanner and Torque on my phone. Is there some performance specs can look at it?

MTF, do you have a persistent whistling noise with your Whipple? I've noticed it with mine. It's not very loud but it's always there. Even when I'm just idling.

Mike, I don't know if this will make you feel any better or not but mine whistles all the time too. I've got less than 700 miles on my engine so I am hoping things will settle in a bit once broke in.
