Intake: Cold Air vs. Short Ram?

Which has a better sound? I currently had a injen cold air in my car, but gave it up. (gave it to a friend). I've heard short ram produced a "meaner" and deep sound than that of a CAI. I'm more focused on the sound, not the HP gain (which is minimal anyways). Which provides the best sound? CAI or Short Ram?

check out my homepage, go to audio for a in car sound of the frankencar midpipe, and then on video there are a few. im presently badling the magnaflow muffler i have, that thing unleashes the eviL Beez !

honestly i was hoping for a killer sound out of the midpipe versus just my JWT popcharger, it sounded maybe more in tune with the midpipe ... im going to experiment with the intakes and keep working on my exhaust sound. and will give some reports if I can find the right overall sound ,. good luck and let me know what ya get

injen cai isnt that agressive at all, frankencar would be the way to go, in terms of performance and sound

I installed a K&N conicle air filter (model # RE-0810) with a custom intake. Awesome growl @ approx 3000rpm & above! Makes heads turn from two blocks away!
