[trophy336]

i brought my trophy last week i p/x my 172 cup when i go above 2000rpm the trophy whistles is this normall as it didnt do it in my cup

Mine does it a bit when your just setting off, in fact i got accused of having a turbo conversion by old subaru mates :shock: ( but thats cos they couldn't shake me on the B roads :D )

[big_peaches]

all is normall. its just your highly restrictive paper filter truggling.... you need to get at least a panel filter k &n style....will free up the car and improve smoothness of acceleration and down shifts....

can someone explain why it whistles

Ooh boy, are you gonna get some varied replies, everything from temperature sensor-less driver door mirrors to standard air filters, the truth is it's the cars soul, the faster you go, the happier it is, so it whistles a tune to let you know it approves of the increased pace. Then when you're driving fast enough the whistle is replaced by a roar. That's when you know you're driving at the correct pace, when the whistle can no longer be heard.

I hope this helps.

can someone explain why it whistles

The most plausable reason I've seen is that there is a butterfly valve in the standard induction system that causes the whistle, the noise will disapear if you fit an aftermarket induction kit.

will thenoise go if i fit a panel filter

[big_peaches]

no they improve...i fitted a k&n from ebay ......very very highly reccomended!!!! make sure you fit a cold air feed to the floor as the standard one you will have only goes above the horn... a good foot from the floor
