Help identifying whining noise.
So i was driving the Z home and when i parked i heard a noise that wasn't familiar coming from the engine bay. I took a video(sort of, more of a sound clip) so you guys can help me identify it. Listen to the video and you'll notice a slight whining noise that gets louder as i rev. I'm thinking its a pump going bad, maybe fuel pump?

almost forgot, mods are motordyne 5/16" spacer and k&n filter.

Make a similar sound to my gf's power steering pump which is on it's way out. Honestly not sure though, can't hear much over the engine rev.

What oil filter do you have on it?
I have seen some aftermarket filters cause a whine like that, The anti drain back valve will squeal in them sometimes on the 3.5

I'm using the k&n oil filter right now, is k&n known to cause that noise?

Would be interested to hear which ones do this. Never heard of that happening before.
