Noisy K&N Cold Air Intake

I installed the K&N cold Air Intake into my 2016 Tundra and now it whistles when I mash the gas. I called the company to see if there’s fix for this but the person I spoke with said that’s the air rushing into the valve. Sounds great but I still want to get rid of the sound. Does anyone have a hack for this.

 

Did you remove the throttle body screen mesh chingadera

 

Mine did when I cut the inside of the screen out

 

Just keep it stock....*insert into unpopular opinion thread*.

 

It’s the throttle body gasket that on certain year models has a piece of mesh over it. You can cut it out or there was a replacement gasket on another forum that is OEM for the Sequoia that works and it has no mesh.

 

That's the Turbo Simulation Mode you've got it set to, change it to Stealth Mode (factory OEM)....

 

I think covering it will reduce the roar, I don’t mind the roar though it’s he hissing/whistling sound that I wanna get rid of.

 

That what? No, I just removed the intake tube.

 

I think so, I’ll try that and let you know if it works.

 

Ok, another YouTube tutorial this wkend. I’m willing to try anything.

 

Go back to the factory air intake and just get a K&N or TRD filter. Same thing but will be quieter. I'd love to get the TRD CAI but I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money just for looks.

 

I’ve spent a lot of money on this setup, gotta find a way to make it work.

 

From my experience with K&N, or like CAI's, that's the nature of the beast. I personally liked the whistling sound, but that was on tuner cars and an F150 that I had them on last. If I go CAI on my Tundra, I'll go TRD.

 

Do not remove the gasket.....two options.....you can cut the mesh out and re install or you can order a new one that does not have the mesh. I cut mine out and reinstalled

 

Thanks.

 

It’s hard to like this whistling sound but again some people like the drone from their exhaust.
