Installed my Carbon Fiber G-tube...

I've just installed a UR carbon tube in my G today and I have two questions.
I didn't have the small red filter but only a normal connection for the air hose as in the regular Z-tube. Is it a different model or did UR change the design of the tube?
After install (with Stillen CAI) I hear an annoying whistling/squealing sound at mid open throttle. It disappears at WOT. Anyone experienced it? Is it a matter of the CAI, the tube or some connection is not tight?
BTW, now the sound above 4500rpm is

Red Filter
Eddie,
I installed the Carbon Fiber intake tube this weekend as well. However, mine was shipped with the red filter. There are two versions of this tube (1) for G35 and (2) for 350z. I ordered the one specifically for G35. Im not sure which one you ordered though. I would just call them up, and they can ship it out to you if you did not get it.
The CF tube that was shipped to me did not have an opening for the hose to connect to. Therefore. I just slapped the red filter on the end of the hose.
As far as sound, I do not have a whistling sound. The CF tube is not as loud as my friends Z tube. It just looks cooler. It is loud after 4500 rpms and a little throatier in the beginning. As far as performance, I can feel a little more oomph down low.

I am considering one of these to put on my G.. However, i might not be interested in the Carbon Fiber anymore since it doesn't produce the nice whistling sound that i like to hear. BTW, where did you guys purchase this from? the cheapest i've seen it for was $130!
Eddie23, did you purchase the one for the Z or G35?

I have the one specifically for the G on my car.
However, if you are interested in the one for the Z..I have that one too. I bought both for some reason. I got the Z one from Grubbs, and they won't let me return it. So if you are interested in the one for the Z, I can sell it for $120 shipped. It comes with the tube, red breather filter, and 2 attachment rubber units.

Looks like I may have been sent the one for the Z, as mine came with the little red breather filter. I never really noticed any significant change in drivability when I stuck one of these crankcase breather filters on my '97 Mitsu. GSX, but is there anything to worry about with the G, in terms of drivability with the breaher filter? Doesn't seem like it, but I'd like to hear other opinions.
