had the same prob in my mustang when I installed a k&n filter. It sounded like the car was whining or whistling up till like 2500 rpms. I thought it was because the filter was not on snug enough but ignored it, don't worry about it!

the sound is a little annoying, but well worth it with the new s/c whinne.
