Yes! That is the same noise I am hearing with my Fujita.

I guess I can stop freaking out now. Im going to call Fujita tomorrow and ask them wth.

And the noise gets louder with a spacer? Uhh yeah thats not so comforting.

i'm not sure why some people are freaking out over this, unless you just want a sleeper/oem-ish car with mods. In that case I can understand. Otherwise it's normal and it's just the throttle valve being open just enough to make a whistle... totally fine. It's not an air leak or something; that would be extremely loud.

I think the loudest intake is the injen short ram or the weapon R: secret weapon. So, I got the injen short ram 3.5" intake with the 4" weapon R foam filter on LOL. I also hear spacers, larger plenums, and the mrev2 might make it even louder.

i love the sound. During aggressive driving, I can get the intake to whistle right after pressing the gas pedal to start accelerating AND wile letting go of the gas to switch gears. So I basically accelerate, whistle, gear shift, whistle, accelerate.. repeat. It really just sounds like a mini-turbo blow-off or some kind of sucking noise, etc.
