poweraid air intake

Okay i searched and cant find anything on it. I just bought a 04 f150 4dr with the 5.4 triton in it. well when i bought it, it had the poweraid cold air intake on it and a spacer. Now this is the annoying part. I get a whistle when im on the gas. not hard on the gas but barely going i get it. the moment i punch it, the whistle goes away and i hear the intake. does anybody know or have heard anything like this before. any help would be appreciated. thankyou

Once I got rid of the K&N cai, it went away.

That TB is suppose to whistle. If you take it off, it will go away. I got mine for free, so I haven't really bothered to take it off.

OGTerror, that's a sweet rig, but what does it have to do with Poweraid intakes?
To the OP, lose the spacer, lose the problem.

Sorry guys wrong thread but I thought I had deleted it and posted "wrong thread" as reason for deletion. I'll trying to delete it again. Again my apologies for the inconveniences this may have caused.
