Default Looking for a great sounding intake

Hi all. I am looking for a great sounding intake. I'm not worried about increased HP, as I believe extracting more #'s from this car is pointless without FI/Nitrous or spending $ on I/H/E with an EMS (which still might barely give you a gain). I am looking soley for a great sounding intake. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance!

The AEM V2 is suppose to sound really nice if you don't mind the cold air intake with a lot of piping.

This intake is suppose to sound nice as well. PRM Intake

The K&N FIPK sounds nice as well.

alot of aftermarket intakes decrease hp so watch out for that too, the stock intake is really great itself

When it comes to sounding cool, the AEM is hard to beat. I've got FI now, and the power is nice, but I really miss the great sounding V1.

Is this true? I never heard about this. I did test drive a car that had some mods on it. Comptech intake and exhaust and that car had a little stutter when you were at a stop and you pushed the clutch all the way in. I figured it had to do with the intake and exhaust mods. There was no ems type of mod.

I use a snorkle intake and gutted the air box, forget that I lined it with insulating foil to help with heat soak. Berfore I lined it the sound was better than stock.

Talking

K&N FIPK

Nice and loud, a little extra power, and no risk of hydrolock. It's really deep when you go WOT.
