cai increase interior noise?

I was thinking of upgrading the air intake system, however i noticed the stock set up is quiet and when im driivng i hardly notice any road noise, which is perfect for nice music listening.
If I install a cai, will it be noisy like my old prelude??

thanks

a CAI won't really increase "road noise", it would increase "intake noise". The icebox is quiet like stock but provides extra power\torque. AEM is a little louder, especially at wide open throttle.

Icebox definitely is louder than stock. It makes a growling noise that is sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

AEM or Injen are def. louder though.

The icebox does NOT sound like a stock intake when going WOT. However its no where near as loud as the AEM.

WOT and VTECH sound unbelieveable, you will also hear a hissing noise at idle. The hissing is not too noticeable unless the engine is cold.
