Installed K&N CAI now there’s a squeak after accelerating hard and letting off

Yes there's a comma. When used correctly they provide clarity.

" friends, family and customers" how else should a comma be used?

Hey it's not an argument. I'm just sharing my experiences, and those of my 4 wheeling and performance car friends. Admittedly not hundreds... I hate oiled filters, and it's founded on experience since the early 80s. You do you, I'm good with that.

And that's fine. You can choose whatever you want. Others that can't read are chiming in.

Some of us read this thread and thought it was about a squeak, not dust.

Resistance to thread drift is futile.

Well now it's about dust...

There are plenty of high flow filters/intakes that aren't oiled. I got the paper S&B and run a prefilter as well. Have run that set for 8 years on 2 trucks, no issues. All the highest performance cars run high flow intakes/filters granted not oiled filters.

Just installed a k&n cold air intake on Saturday and ever since whenever I accelerate hard and let off there is a squeak rather than the normal pshhh noise. Has anyone ran into something similar, I can’t seem to find anything about it. All clamps are tight and no air is leaking.

Little update, after looking in to it and having some people at my dealer take a look. It appears that the squeak/whistle is coming from the air filter itself. Going to remove the filter and see if it does it then when I get the time.

Aside from the whistle does it respond/feel any different (butt dyno)?

Nope, drives perfectly fine and exactly as it should. Makes it more confusing though lol

Do you have a recording of the whistle and is it all the time or just under load?
