Intake and exhaust question..

So i was looking into putting an air intake and exhaust into my 01AE max. I was looking for something that would give my a low rumble nothing to high pitched maybe something along the lines of the g35 sound, im not trying to match it, i just like the rumble it has..

Any help is great.. thanks!

So I was kind of thinking it over and i dont really want to add all that stuff to my car right now, but what i do want to do is change the tip because i really dont like the downward facing pipes that the car has..

I did notice that there was a rectangular cut away in the bumper, can anyone show me a tip that would fit in that cut away..

Thanks..

GAB is great for adding a nice intake growl without being obnoxiously loud. Even better, it is free and does provide some hp gain.
