whistling noise w/ '992.5rs
I have a buddy that has a '99 2.5 rs that whenever you push the accelerator down (like getting on the freeway or accelerating fast, not just pushing it down slightly) you hear a high pitched whistling,
anybody have any idea what it may be? exhaust leak?
oh yeah teh car is completly stock

I have the same sound on my car, and I think it's an exhaust leak somewhere from the cat back. I put some Borla headers on with new gasket at the cat, and it still was whistling...So it can only be from there back. It's only when I really get on it that I can hear , at about 4500rpm it's the loudest.

my friend had his car looked at by a shop (the car dealership he works at so it was a quick free thing) they said it is possibly something in the exhaust blocking it...(i dont know how i feel about this assesment, it doesnt sound right)
