Noise level increase from stock --> H/I

How much louder did your stock noise levels become UNDER 5000 (moderate throttle) w/ the headers and intake upgrade?

Thanks

IMHO, the car sounds much better. There is no additional noise with headers...your engine will sound different when you rev...more raspy sounding. You may hear some air-sucking noise from the intake when your engine is cold. After our second intake opens, it's music to my ears!

I can only speak for the intake, but I agree with Ronnie... you only hear the sucking noise when the engine is cold... after that, you can't even tell that you have an intake at "regular" throttle. Over 4800RPMs when VTEC kicks in though.... ahhh what a sound. So intoxicating.
