JT's air filter

Thanks for the info. Thinking for my girlfriends 2011 RSS. How difficult to R&R?

I just installed one on a 2011 RSS no problem at all and I like the sound

The mirror pops off just like JT said on my RT. If its the same on yours it should be the same. Somewhere around here I have seen a video on how to do it.
Have fun....

I have an ST. The panel that the mirror attaches to won't come off until the mirror is removed. Each mirror has a black plastic piece covering it on top and bottom. The bottom piece pops off but the top piece has a screw in it that must be removed. Once the two pieces are off, the mirrors can be popped off. Pull up and out from the bottom of the mirror and then lift up. Mirror should come off. Unplug the cord to the turn signal and remove. Then you have to unscrew 4 screws holding the plastic piece the mirror fits into and remove. Then you can remove the panel. Hope this helps.

Just looking at a photo of an ST and the mirrors are different than the RT.

These are the RT mirror so what I said won't apply to the ST.

Thanks all! Your input helped. I pulled the mirror and panels and I got to the filter and checked everything and found nothing that was an obvious air leak. I tightened a couple screws on the throttle body adapter a little just because I could. I don't think that had anything to do with it. All hoses looked good, clamps were tight. Put it back together and took it for a spin.
The high pitch whining/whistling sound is still there a little but only while accelerating out of first gear. On the open road I didn't hear anything. I think I can live it!
thanks

Swing by the house and I'll help you figure it out, I'm in Virginia Beach not too far from you.




Well maybe a day trip....


or day and a half....

Thanks for the invite! I'm afraid though that once I got down there you would listen and say, "I don't hear a thing", and then my OCD would be revealed. I'm trying to keep that a secret.
