whistle from air intake?

I have a 97 grand prix 3.8 vin k. I installed an air intake chrome tube with a k and n filter to replace the stock. Since the switch i where a whistling sound. took the air filter off for a brief amount of time and still does it. It sounds like its coming from where the filter and the tube connects. I made sure the connection was tight with the rubber fitting. any help would be great.

Check the large vacuum line coming off the front of the throttle body.

Re: whistle from air intake?

does this intake have a back-fire relief valve on it? The can be cruddy and if a intake pop occurs it may not seat properly. They are usually opposite end of the intake.
