Loud Whine

i have a 2007 ex and i put about 37k on it. im starting to hear this loud whine coming from the engine bay at around 50 to 60 mph. it gets to the the point where you can actually feel the vibrations. sounds like i put some headers on there. its really annoying. can someone please help me out?? my warranty expired so i cant take it to the dealership without paying a premium

Re: Loud Whine

Do I even have to ask why the warranty expired on a car 1 year old with 37 (I'm assuming) 000 kilometres on it? Or how you did that much mileage?

Either way, did you install a stereo or air intake?

Re: Loud Whine

Whine from the intake probably.
So why is it not covered under warranty?

Re: Loud Whine

Have you ever cleaned the filter? This happened to my brothers tib gt and he didn't even know you had to clean the filter. If thats the case, you're also getting less gas mileage. It decreses your mpg pretty rapidly. In 5000 miles you loose about 7% of your gas mileage. So if you get 20 mpg you'll be getting in the 18's. There are kits and crap you can use but a lot of people take it off and hit it on crap a few times and vaccum it for a little bit and use a rag on it. W/e you preffer to trust, a kit or a vaccum, I never really see a difference in the results.
