Only at WOT, it's a noticeable difference. I feel like it makes the exhaust note less mean sounding than the stock airbox during part throttle driving, as though the NPP exhaust note loses some of it's tone. I have a K&N intake.
Overall, I feel like aftermarket air intakes are only good at WOT, and that they screw up the way the cars drives at any other throttle input compared to the stock airbox. This is the same experience I've had on all my N/A cars that I've installed an intake on, they're a waste of money and inferior to the stock airbox other than at WOT. The K&N intake is loud at WOT, and it feels like my car pulls a little bit harder at WOT, but I prefer the stock airbox for street driving, the drivability is superior with it and part throttle sounds better.
