Sound of Frankencar Intake on 2003 while cruising at 80 mph

I am just curious on how the sound is with a frankencar intake on a 2003 auto while cruising at 80mph.
Thanks

it depends whether you are are at WOT or not-

Today when I dynoed my car I nearly shyt myself when I heard the car screaming- the VQ is one sweet sounding motor!

I can't imagine that you can hear the intake at 80mph going down the highway. The wind noise would mask the sound. The reason that MannyNJ2k2max can hear it is because he is sitting on a dyno with no wind noise.

Then again you have no intake so therefore dont know what you're talking about-

Yes you can hear the intake @ 80mph if you are giving throtle- if just cruising
at a set speed you may hear a whistle at the most-
At WOT it is loud as heck (specially if you dont have exhaust)

Being that you have an auto, the tranny will keep your RPM's low if not aggresively giving throtle-

Is there any reason that someone who doesn't have 800 or 900 posts gets ripped every time he gives an opinion?

You won't hear it at all if you just cruising. If you downshift, that is another story.

Maybe be a little more specific. At just 80mph, you're not going to hear anything. Now, would you like to know what it sounds like under WOT, or just light acceleration or what? Also, what gear? I have the Injen and there's a huge difference between 3rd at 80 and 6th at 80....

As everyone here has said already, you barely hear the intake at cruising speed. Now if you decide to give it some gas, yes, you will hear it. Now if you go WOT, you can REALLY hear it. My friend actually got scared.

If your worried about noise, dont be. There wont be anything abnormal just cruisin. Find a link to someones frankencar slip and just make a mental note of the sound it makes at 3000 RPMS or so. that'll translate to around 80 mph

When people say they can hear it and it especially screams at WOT, is it a good sound. I like how my 3.0 has that kind of electronic sound, especially at high rps, is this sound louder or...?
