sound of injen cold air intake

Hey, does the the injen (or any other cold air intake) make the car sound noticably different? some people say they notice it others dont. I'm stuck between the injen and the AEM. i have a 2.2

Yea, the intake does make the engine louder, especially at WOT. I installed my Injen on my 2.2 a few weeks ago and love it.

I went with the AEM w/ dryflow filter. No cells and sounds great with my magnaflow cat back exhaust. DO a search, the vids/ sound clips will come up.

later

I think its pretty much the cone that makes a difference, so if u get a new cone and replace the stock air filter it will still be louder. I'm not sure how much louder a full intake would be compared to just the air box mod but I think you get most of the sound from the filter itself not the tubing.
So to answer your question I'd say its probably about the same as anyone else who has an aftermarket intake.

Out in the country...like the deepest darkest parts, before I had my exhaust done...I let TCarter take my car down the road at WOT while I stood outside and listened, because I had just done the same and TCarter claimed my car sounded like a jet. So yeah, go somewhere deserted and just listen...it's pretty damn cool

That's exactly how it was for me, the short ram was so loud at WOT.
