The quietest aftermarket intake would be the one with smaller piping and in CAI form. Some manufacturers make different kinds of intakes to fit personal needs, in which some are CARB. and Emmission legalized Intakes which are quieter in a sport look. Check out OBX website for diff. explainations on the intakes, I do not have a link, but google should be able to find them for you.
i just unscrewed my air filter top... and pulled it out of the pipe... so i assume the other reasonator in the OEM pipe was still being used?
