Hi everyone. I have a 2000 Firehawk (#610) black, with bilstein etc. I noticed that when I step on it, it makes a whistling sound. Do you guys all hear this on the 99-00 hawks? Is this normal? I kinda like it because it startles other people as I fly by. No big deal, just wanted to know if you guys all get this = ).
thanks,

Hey, you have the best build number besides #1 and the last one being built.
Anyway, What you are hearing I think is the ram air. If you were to put on an aftermarket lid like direct flow or whisper lid then it will get a little louder. My dad has always said my hawk sounds like a jet when I pull in his driveway...I can't really hear it but he said he can. His 98 Trans Am didn't do that and the guy that bought it from him when I here it still doesn't do that. Thats why I think its the ram air.
Still open for suggestions.
BTW nice build number

RE: whistling
Yeah #610 is the best! = ) It sounds like it could be the ram air but it only happens when I am acceleration really fast. I thought it may be wind whistling...not sure
RE: whistling
Sounds like you might be hearing the fuel pump. Does the sound
come form behind you or in front of you? If it sounds like it's coming
from behind you it's probably the pump.

RE: whistling
It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car...I initially thought it was either the tires or the wind whistling past...
