CAI Sound Difference?
Question to all you guys out there with aftermarket intakes... Is there a noticeable sound difference at idle or under acceleration once you changed your intake? I had a supercharged car previously that I put an aftermarket intake on, and it obviously was night and day difference. Is there any difference with yours? Thanks!

They usually have a noticeable difference in sound at WOT. Check the K&N install thread, I think the OP mentioned something about it there as well.

Depends on the CAI... I've had 3 different ones on my car and all were different. An enclosed box you won't hear so much, but the Hennessey CAI you will definitely hear. Don't notice anything at idle, but on instant acceleration you will.

You will probably notice a sound difference at WOT, but it isn't something completly noticeable. I would say you would here a difference yourself, but from an untrained ear, you won't.

I was hoping there would be a sound difference when I installed my C5GR CAI but I can't hear anything.

Definitely a sound difference when getting in to it with the CAI CAI. Very nice sound change.

My mother had a K&N typhoon intake installed on her 06 R/T charger and you can hear a noise difference upon acceleration with the windows rolled down. Makes a whistle noise. It's really cool!

I'd like to take back my last statment. There is no sound difference at start up but under hard accelaration you can really hear it Grumble. The LS3 sounds pissed off!!!

it just might be me, but I installed a K&N CAI this weekend and to me my exhaust sounds a lot louder under acceleration and better motor reponse. No sound difference under the hood.

I have the ADM street version. It is a closed in box but I still noticed the sucking noise under medium to hard acceleration. I love it!!!
