pretty simple question, i have dual flowmasters and i just ordered the c&l + sctX3 from bamachips. will the intake make my exhaust any louder?

 

if anything it might, but I don't think it'll be too noticeable.

When I put my CAI on... it changed the tone of the exhaust to a bit of a deeper, throatier note. I can't say it's really gotten too much louder.

 

deeper and throatier sounds good to me !!! i hate the ricer sound

 

i dont think it should get louder, maybe it will get a little smoother though.

 

makes sense that it can make a tiny difference but nothing that you could really notice.

 

i installed my BBK yesterday and i noticed a deeper tone in my exhaust at WOT. Keep in mind i said deeper, not louder...
its a good sound though. i defiantly like it.

 

Changing the intake will change the intake noise. I don't think it would affect exhaust to any noticeable degree. Intake noise is a significant consideration in the overall noise output of an engine - every engine company spends probably as much time engineering the right-sounding intake as they do exhaust. My Mustang, snowmobile and outboardallcame withstock airboxes whose sole purpose is to make them quieter, not more efficient.

 

i guess what i meant was that it makes sense to affect the exhaust tone if you also had a tune. tune alone will probably do more for the exhaust than intake alone. more power generated by the engine from CAI/tune = higher volume of exhaust = slight change in tone (for the better).
