CAI Question

ok i tried looking with the search function but nothing came up that answered my question. And my question is why is my CAI louder sometimes then others? normally its loud but once in a while its a lot louder. like today i had to go to pick some food up from a restaurant and didn't have time to warm the car up much so after 5-15 seconds i left and the temp gauge was still all the way down. so after a block of driving a do a quick step on the gas and i can really hear it roar loudly. after i came back from picking up the food and was like a block away from my house i tried it again and this time it wasn't as loud.

so what i wanna know is, is there a way to always be able to make that really really loud roaring noise or is it just random? or is is the filter or is there something else that plays a role in this?

Your car is cold.... Try warming up your car first before you go anywhere....

Driving on cold engine is not that helpful in longer lasting cars...

When it's warm.. It'll be the normal noise of a CAI

Wax in you ears VARIES. Keep them clean.

OLD age also has something to do with it.

DO you listen to LOUD music? 10K watts might help

the only reason it would sound different is different RPM and throttle position.
