Just wondering how to get a louder induction sound?

I noticed cars with higher flowing exhaust have a quiter induction sound

Also, I took my air filter and intake pipe off, and the induction sound is louder but the cam changeover is less noticable

Just wondering what is the best way to get it as loud as possible without hindering performance?
Any sort of special intake pipe?

PS. Running an apexi power intake pod air filter

With a turbo, you're already muffling quite a bit of sound.

he's not running a turbo


if you're running the stock air box, remove the resonator and such prior to the air filter box.

Otherwise, get an intake for the car.

LOL, thought he was from his sig.

Anyway, he's already having the apexi power intake pod. So he doesn't have a resonator nor an airbox.

sorry, wasn't sure about how the apexi power intake pod works... I've heard people reference pod filters for a drop in filter... thoght maybe that's what he meant since he's asking about getting more intake noise

my question is: do you want your car to 'sound' loud or go quick?
90% of the time the sound of louder induction makes the impression of going faster.
Foam filters are probably loudest in 'suction' terms - but they do not offer the best filtraton.

Ok guys
The car already has a pod filter
I would like it louder WITHOUT affecting performance in a negative way

The whale penis, does that make it louder?
Where can I get one from?
And what is their technical name as I am not asking around for a whales penis ;)

And is it car specific or a universal thing?
Where can I buy it from (cost?)?

I was thinking of just getting this:

It seems like it would fit

That's why also that j's racing kit isn't really helpfull to me :(

i have a pod filter on my car with short ram and pvc piping to the front under the gaurd, if i upgrade to this j's racing cold air intake would i have to get a re-tune on my vafc ?

Yes, you would need a mild retune. Intake lengths and diameters alter airflow properties a lot. Short wide pipes will make heaps of intake noise at hi-rpm, while long narrow pipes make more noise when you give them WOT at low rpm.
