I've found that quite alot of the induction noise is muffled down by a resonator that sits within the driver side guard and attaches to the bottom of the air box. CAI's and pods always result in the removal of this resonator which is one of the reasons that they produce so much induction noise. Myself I removed the resonator from the bottom of my stock air box. Performance gains are very minimal at best, you may find that without the restriction of the resonator that it will breathe a little better at high rpms. You will however experience a louder induction noise that before! Its a nice balance especially if you have a loud exhaust because it wont be just exhaust noise but a nicer revving sound.
Absolutely horrible im afraid. I could stretch this post out to a paragraph but in the end, its not worth it.
Options include retrofit projectors or ebay headlights.
In case anyone was wondering, removing the intake resonator frees up a ton of noise in the intake.

shows how to take out your resonator, however it might be easier to remove your front bumper if u are familiar with it.
an like what gums said unless you get projectors i highly suggest not using a hid kit cause your gonna blind people and they are gonna get very angry
The best way by far is to remove the bumper. You will see the snail like box on the drivers side near the wheel well. You will need to get into some deep bolts.
I used the ntpog.org for info on what to do with the butterfly control box and the associated vacuum lines (it has vacuum lines to activate a butterfly thing inside the resonator).
