Racing Beat with ram air duct is the way to go. Not loud at all untill you stomp on it.

If you want a loud intake go with the K&N typhoon

if you want to keep warranty go with the mazdaspeed intake which is the AEM design

The AEM (which is essentially the same as the Mazdaspeed one) offer about the same performance benefit (<5bhp). I believe it is generally considered louder than Racing Beat but quieter than the K&N.

I think you should be banned, new comers should be required to take a course before they get on so they know how to search.

If you want a to go cheap then I would recommend the RB REVi intake duct and the OEM Intake Mod I personally love the look of the HKS Reloaded hence the reason why I fabricated one just like it. AEM/Mazdaspeed CAI would be my third choice though

Nothing breathes better than the OEM airbox.
Now, if you are looking for noise, there are many options that have been discussed at length in the various stickies that you were verily commanded to read when you signed up for this forum.

+2 on stock airbox. It's already cold air and already well designed. You get a bit more power and sound with the Racingbeat REVi with airduct but not the best bang for the buck out there. I'd work on the suspension first.

oh one more thing...
