Thumbs down wind noise from brush guard!!

Has anyone out there with a brush guard experienced very loud wind noise on the highway and if so, how to prevent it. I have a Manic brush guard.

not that i know of. i remember when i was a contractor that the ladder used to howl. i never did get to figure that one out. it's the way the resistance of the brush guard in the wind at speeds od 55 or more. sorry i couldn't be of more help. curt

I've posted on this before. On a cross country trip, the noise was so bad that I pulled over at a rest stop and took it off! Until I removed it, I had no idea just how much noise there was. I would rather pay for two smashed front ends than listen to that thing one more mile.
btw, I took the guard (manik) off in stages. Removing the headlight gaurds didn't help. The niose is coming from the top half of the grill gaurd.

So hopefully ...

So hopefully the BullBar I ordered will not have the wind noise since it only goes to the top of the bumper?????

When I took off the top of the Manik, the noise went away completely.

I have a WAAG for my screw. One piece welded black powdercoat. Check ou theirs. It contours the grille VERY nicely. I don't hear any noise from it, even at 90+ MPH.
