    Whistling after cold air intake + downpipe

    I recently started upgrading my 2012 A3 Quattro. After installing the CTS cold air intake, downpipe, Unitronic Stage 2 for ECU & TCU...performance is amazing. However when I floor it, I hear whistling from the intake. Any suggestions on resolving this?

    A friend of mine had the same issue on his '13 GTI with the CTS intake. Is it 2pc or 1pc intake? I think he eventually just changed the intake and sound went away(Keep in mind, this was 10+ yrs ago)

    Would you be able to upload a vid/sound clip? And stupid question but you’re certain this isn’t just the sound of turbo spool under load?
