well if you have a 2.4 then you shouldn't have any supercharger whine at all right?

If he's stock...than there is no supercharger "whinning" but that doesn't mean he can't put a supercharger on his 2.4 VVT.

I should have pointed this out before but the reason the weapon-r intake was louder than your injen one is because of the filter differences. The weapon-r foam filters are less restrictive as far as air and sound. When you hear an intake, you're basically hearing air pass through something hollow and it's echoing. The injen intakes use K & N Cone filters which are a bit more restrictive but do a better job at filtering.

FYI: Take the whole "restriction" thing lightly...it's not restrictive to the point of where it's going to make a huge difference...it's all miniscule stuff.

I'm gonna say injen, why would this make a difference in the choice of intake again?

for me, because I have no resonator and a flowmaster, its so loud I can't even hear the slightest sc whine at all even with the windows up! I'm getting a K&N though, since I already made an agreement with a guy, and I just like K&N products.

Yes. Remember, all an intake is is a tube (most of the time alluminum) with a filter. If you have a coupler of some type, you can put the filter on the tubing that came with your injen intake.

Already answered why one intake would be louder over another...it's the filter type and the size of tubing. Weapon-R intakes and Injen intakes use 2 1/2" tubing but different type of filters. The foam filter would be less restrictive on sound as far as echoing.
