Anyone have Perrin Wing Stabilizer

Im trying to find out if the Perrin Wing Stabilizer will eliminate the low wistle that the STi wing makes at speeds over 90mph.

That whistle comes from your mirror, not your wing. Slow down 90's too fast.:stop:

im not talking about the wistle that comes from the mirrors. (mid pitch wistle) im talking about the low reverberating humming histle. (like blowing accross an emty bottle) that as far as i know only comes on the sti.

Is it possible it's coming from the roof stabilizer-spoiler thingy?

I know the hum you're talking about, but I get it as I pass 100. It's just the wind working its way around the car. If you go faster it will fade. If you go slower it will fade.

My STI wing makes no noticeable noise at any speed - then again it could be my exhaust drowning it out

i would get the wing stabilizers just for the fact that it makes the wing look less ****ty.

how did you narrow the noise down to the wing? Also, wouldn't that mean its working?
