With all of these issues after 6-8 months, I think I might need to check the bolts on my FX...

Same here. I didn't use locktite. I checked my plenum some several months after install and they were all still tight. I don't get annoying whistling or anything, I just notice that on the highway I've got more speed or the car feels like it has longer legs as it will really keep climbing
