Yes it "whistles", that's normal...it's the noise from the air being sucked into your intake.
By the way the next time you decide to post please try not to equivocate gay and stupid (unless you want to come off as ignorant).

Chris - you looking to trade straight up?
I'm also running the top off of my intake. You'll lose power in traffic, but gain minimal power while moving at decent speeds.

The whistling is the airpump that forces extra air through the system to prevent a CEL due to the car running rich. It will intermittintly come on when your sitting at lights too.

Airpump only comes on during cold starts. After it shuts off, it doesn't come back on until another cold start. Maybe you're thinking of the radiator fans. Either way, the airpump has nothing to do with the car running rich, its to get the cat to warm up faster for emissions purposes
