Alta CAI

Anybody out there know what to do about t.b. noise that seems to be inherent with this type of mod? I didn't install the silicone tube that Alta offers as an option. Maybe this would help? I was thinking, maybe I could install the big bore t.b. which would accommodate the increased air flow and stop the whistling/ringing noise I hear between 2200 and 3200 RPM.

Did you do any engine management?
Possibly an intake silencer delete?
Maybe you should install the tube?
