Default WHICH CAI SOUNDS THE BEST?

I'm told that CAIs do modify the way a GT sounds when going WOT or even idling. If this is true, what is the general consensus out there about which SOUNDS the meanest. By that, I mean rip snorting gnarly MEAN sounding.

I just installed a set of Hooker AeroChambers and they do sound totally wicked, but if a CAI can make it sound even better, than I'm all ears. Note that I'm not that interested in purported HP gains. They're probably all within a few HP of each other anyway, but if any sound better, I'd like to hear about your impressions.

I had my stingers on a day before my CAI, and I can say that the intake DEFINITELY makes a difference in sound at WOT. If they make the same HP, they suck the same amount of air. If they suck the same, they'll sound the same. I need LTH's and an X-pipe to really wake up the neighbors

Yah... man youll get more of a sound bc your engine will be sucking up more air making it growl..... so it def doesnt change the sound but not the sound coming from your exhaust but the sound coming from your engine.

I noticed the exhaust sounds cleaner after the install actually. It makes sense since you change your ratios with more free flowing air (hence the need for the tunes) which means more exhaust will have to discharge through your tailpipes.
