I have a cone filter modded into the stock airbox (CA) and don't notice much of an increase in noise with or without the OEM airbox. My brothers with Injen Piping/Intake though makes a lot of noise but nothing distinct like a blow off valve upon lifting throttle/shifting.

Nice car BTW.

I think it's safe to say that a bolted on S2000 vs a bolted on STi or Evo.... the Evo/STi will win 9 times out of 10. There are S2000's out there that are capable and have beaten the Evo/STi with mods, but I think the reason that happens is, well, the owners of those cars simply drive horribly and don't know what gear to start racing people in or can't shift.

An S2000 with Forced Induction can take care of an Evo/STi with no problems at all.

WHAT most people dont know is when you put a intake on a stock turbo car the blow of noise it makes 9 times out of 10 it is the wastegate!!!!

unless ofcourse it actually does have a aftermarket blowoff valve.
