CAI sound
hih ppL!!
What kind of a noise would a CAI make?? (like low growl or something???) Is it noticable from the outside of the car?
Sometimes I see car passing by that have a quiet, but noticable growl to it but they don't have upgraded exhaust, is it because of CAI??
If I install a CAI, would it take away my low end power?? Thanks!

personally, I don't like my CAI. That's just ME.
the sound is a little different and much more quiet than a short ram intake.
the sound you probably hear is a short intake, it's usually more pronounced in terms of sound and tone.

Low growl at wide open throttle, short ram slightly louder at low revs and wide open throttle.
CAI still good, esp at wide open throttle and VTEC
when I turn off the engine I get a huush sound from it.
people at the gas station stare

With a short air intake K&N or whatever filter you use will give you a second of hesitation off the line compared to stock.
I have seen tis on many of my friends cars and on my old acura, if you have enough done to the car you wil really not notice the difference but just intake on a stock car you will see it almost pause for a second till the engine starts going.
But it will make a difference on the highway once you get going.
