Thanks! I replaced the plastic with square drive oen that Excelerate provided with a brass hex one.

The high pitched noise/whistle - definitely changed. It is noticeable, but faint compared to what it was and a different pitch. This definitely was the problem and now I'm going to live with it.

Heres mine with the stock intake. How many ppl have this setup?

I want to get a CAI but i think i'm happy with the stock intake without the resonator right now.

that's what i did too...

Me too. Except I've still got the full stock intake, resonator included. I've even got WDP like you too.

I'll do a CAI at some point, just didn't have the scratch this time around.

is there a paticular size that you purchased for that brass plug?

i'm actually a TSX owner and purchased the TSX version recently (still waiting on it b/c the TB thremal gaskets aren't ready). i'd like to nip this possibly hissing problem if i can by just getting the brass plug. thanks!

why is there a hole in the first place ??

eh? spec

for NOS applications isn't it? even though its not a good idea on a TL.

It can be used as a nitrous/methanol port or vacuum source.

Does Any Once Know What Is The Size For 02 Tls T/b Gasket? (65mm Or 70mm). I Did The Search, But Didn't Find Any Size. Thanks For Your Help In Advance.

soo do you guys recommend that we should get a 1/8th NPT plug and from where can we get this..

Also is the whistling annoys I got a CAI and ATLP exhaust will it drown it out?

Bearcat94

I don't have a whistle. Maybe you won't either. I put the plastic plug that comes with the P2R in pretty tight.

If you need one you should be able to get an NPT plug at a hardware or plumbing supply store.

my whistling is pretty bad, i mean it's pretty loud in-cabin, and outside it's REALLY loud...

could i buy a NPT plug at Home depot? I tried to search online, but lol the plug is like $1 but shipping is like 3 times it lol

so was just wondering where I could purchase the plug in person.

Home Depot and/or Lowe's will have it

I fixed my whistling by doing two things:

a) buying a brass 1/8" npt plug at Mendards screwed all the way in (Home Depot has them)
b) Using Red RTV Sealant on the white thermal gaskets

Whistle gone!

the home depot i went to didn't have a 1/8" NPT plug, or maybe i didnt ask the right question. anyway, went to like three different guys and the last guy went to actually measure the plastic plug. 1/8" apparently wasn't the size, and then he said the threads on the plug were really thin so he said it's probably metric. Turns out 10mm is the closest fit. however, anything they had at Home depot had wider threads, so he suggested to just get teflon and locktite.

i ended getting the teflon (you can't have too much teflon around that shit is used for so much stuff!! and then i know someone said to get locktite(blue) but the guy said to get locktite(red); so i got red.

3 layers of teflon and a bunch of red locktite later, no whistling, and that plug is NOT going anywhere.

The plugs should be installed with teflon tape. If you do not use teflon tape it may cause an air leak and thus the whistle.

Are you planning on making a bigger plenum for the 3G TL?

TCM 01 CL-S

I asked Sean @ P2R this question when I was getting mine installed/dynoed (around december), since my brother has an 05 TL and he said that he is working on something. He was explaining that the 3rd gen TL's are solid and connected, while on my vehicle they are just detatchable, so he was trying to find a way work around this.



A picture to give you a better idea of the differences^.
