I did hear a difference of sound. It was almost like tires chirping as the car shifted. Oh wait, there were...... No new sounds off the engine bay though.

there isnt really any noise from aftermarket intakes on these cars...

I have the Steeda and did not notice any sound difference.

I didn't here any difference but then again, the Stingers may have had something to do with it. Or was it the lack of blood to the brain due to the hard-on from the change in performance from the CAI & tune...?

These cars don't use silencers like new edge mustangs did. You may hear something because of the open air box design as compared to the sealed box style but not likely..

I agree with everyone there...

But dont be disappointed about it. The added 25RWHP is enough to put a smile on your face, trust me...

If you want more sound, add some stingers

it's a little dissapointing... I've already got the mid muffler system which is louder than the stingers at WOT.. But im looking for more sound...

I noticed a difference when I installed my C&L CAI. This was without the tune (didn't have the file yet). After the tune, the car sounded like a beast! Still would love for it to be louder though...

I am quite frankly very surprised at the people that did not notice a difference. I went from stock to the C&L race CAI and a brenspeed tune, and there is a HUGE difference. First, when I hit the throttle there is the sudden WHOOSH of air. Once the air is flowing you cannot hear it, but even going from no throttle to quarter throttle there is a sweet sound. Second, my exhaust (totally factory) is easily 40% louder. I was very surprised at how much louder it got. At idle it sounds the same, and at cruise there is almost zero sound from the exhaust, just the way I like it. When I punch the throttle, I get the Whoosh, then the exhaust note starts just in front of the tranny with a growl, then as the RPMs climb it rapidly moves to the back of the vehicle with a very nice roar. Considerably louder than factory, and totally due to the tune, not the intake, but since one goes with the other...

Now I have a convertible, so perhaps I notice the sounds a lot more than a hard top. All the noises change when the top goes up, including the gear noise from those damn motive gears. Before the intake I heard no air being sucked in when I throttled, and I am incredibly happy with the change.

40% louder? I don't see that happening... but anyway, to the OP, when i added my bbk intake, all i noticed was that "whoosh" sound from the intake. When i loaded my 93 tune, the car sounded very different. A bit deeper and idle was louder. (SLP LM's at the time)
