Question which has been answered a BaBillion times

Sorry for not searching the thread first,

Which intake sounds the most intense/evil/mean? From the you tube videos it seems like the injen takes the cake. I know that videos are dependent on the recording device so I am asking the question here. (injen, BMS, AFE)







Has anyone heard all three in person. Which one sounds more exotic? If you were a shallow (and cheep) BMW Rookie just concerned with turning heads at stop lights and beating up on the occasional TL and Civic, which one would you choose?

For what it is worth, I have some experience with the AFE and I would say that it barely sounds louder than stock under most circumstances.

Also, and this may be more of a point for you to research, as you reach and pass the 400 whp mark, tuners suggest upgrading the intake. I recall the advice being to get a DCI, but I could be wrong. I'd imagine a DCI has more flow capacity.

Regarding the 400whp mark, you can hit that with E85 (and a tune, of course) and no other mods save for an upgraded intake. If you plan on going this route, I'd suggest you call a tuner or two and ask.

Just this, but it's old so the pictures are down. He does list results in the text though.
