Not really much of a difference from stock. Except if you are in the front of the car you can hear the engine sucking in the air. Not quite the difference you get when you put on a CAI kit with a big cone filter.

I'll try to get you a clip tomorrow, but it does sound like a little vac after a cold start. As the car comes off warmup idle it is really pretty quiet after that. No sound inside the car!

See sig. Not sure why SOUND is what you care about. You should be after the vararam simply because it's the best intake you can spend your money on...
