How much louder is the exaust and intake over the stock car?
Is it twice as loud? Three times? I would like to add these eventually, but I don't want my car to be so loud it pisses people off when I drive by. I have a nieghbor with a civic. His exaust drives me insane, it is loud and it sounds like a dirtbike. I don't want that on my car. If people who know could try to describe the sound I would appreciate it.

This may be a stupid question since I am new to adding mods to my cars and want to add a mod like this for sure but when adding an intake like the K&N. Do you have to replace the filter and how often? And, what is the best way/product to condition the filter?

K&N filters are a spun filtration (cotton + some other stuff) web....you don't throw them out...you simply wash them off and reapply the OIL that traps your debris...

K&N has a oil kit for their filters...think it's like $15

Thanks for the answer Mike.
Clips don't give a very good impression of volume, only sound.

It's nice to see a dyno chart, but I see a problem with it. Problem being that the pull was done in 2nd gear. Aren't the most reliable pulls done in 4th gears because its the direct drive gear between the imput and output shaft in the transmission.

I have the Greddy exhaust and K&N Typhoon intake. Those clips with the intake and Borla exhuast sound the same as mine.

Anybody have this intake, but a stock exhaust? Is the difference in interior engine noise substantially increased over stock in this configuration?
