Stillen. The CAI opening is muffled by the inner fender, where the Stillen intake is right in the open.

I yield to Kevin. He's had both. I was speculating.

I have a 2.5" custom cat-back exaust. Im using a direct flow muffler. And yes, I had the resonater removed. The exaust is deeper and much louder than stock. But I can live with it. The question is, if I get a stillen hiflow or CAI. Will it make my exaust any and noticably louder or will I just hear an additional sucking sound from the front of my car?

Also, how much louder can I expect my exaust to be if I add a stillen or cattman y pipe? Or will it just change the exaust note and not make the decibel level any higher?

At WOT, you'll hear your CAI... but I can't really say because of your custom cat-back. You'll definitely hear the sucking sound when you're at idle or rolling. Sounds nice too.
