Default Stock to AEM SRI. How much more noise?

Question for all of you running SRIs. How much more noise do these create than a stock airbox in a GSR? I'd like to improve air flow and I'm not interested in a CAI. How loud is the SRI? Thanks!

Loud enough that you'll want to get on it every time you take off. If you want to preserve gasoline, turn back now!

yea the SRI is a little louder than the CAI. if you want to keep it stock i would remove the intake resonator. you get the sound and it might even add a horsepower or two. and the best thing is, its for free!

For everyday driving is this going to be louder... Or it it just loud when it hits VTEC? If I'm just doing normal everyday driving shifting before 5000 RPMs will it be different?

Thanks!

well the loudness of it depends on how much throttle you give, it can sound stock if you're just going through normal driving, but when you get on it then you start to hear it.

If you're wanting more flow, then leave the stock intake in. If you're just wanting sound, go buy a $40 ebay one.

Why would I leave the stock intake in for more flow?

that's the first thing i added to my car and yes it makes you want to floor it all the time, heh. it's pretty damn loud at full throttle but pretty quiet if you drive normally.
