What you do is, just take the pod off completely, so your intake pipe, is not covered, you get a good sound, and better air flow, thus making better power and economy.

K & N pods are overpriced. Sell them to another idiot and recoup your money. Buy SAAS or Drift brand pod and your set.

K&N Products are great, and not overpriced for what your getting. If they do not make the size you are after i'd buy drift, but always K&N First because their cotton weave filters work very well when properly oiled..

Not sure on the whistle though mate, possibly a hole in your mate's pod filter??

Out of curiosity why do you have 2 pod filters?

EDIT: Nix this I saw your pictures in the MACE V6 thread.

its not the ecotec that whistles, its the pod, my mate has a vn s2,
no to the statement above about the whole in the pod there is no whole in it, its how they are when you buy them new
and honestly who is that stupid to run it without a filter? espceially where i am, dust storms galore, as well as locus plaiges at the present
