The thing is loud- near stock at low RPM's to super loud in the high RPM's at full throttle. Seems to pull well, but loud noises can fool the butt dyno.

"butt dyno"

Its not that its insanely loud overall, just much louder than stock, which is very quiet.

Hah I dunno, my engine was loud to begin with, with the
installment of the K&N Typhoon CAI I would have to agree
that my engine is insanely loudER now. I get asked the
"do you have a turbo or supercharger" question allllll the time.

that high pitched intake sound close to redline is sweet

TCguy8

Yeah, I think it sounds great!

It sounds great but is NOT anywhere clouse to "insanely loud".

Mines loud too. I think its louder with MT because you get to redline so much faster with the tall gears.

rockettc

Its not ear splitting or anything, just way louder than stock. Sounds great!

reagulator

dont you mean short gears?

i dont know why everyone thinks this is so loud i have had several other intakes on my other previous cars and I think that this is actually very quiet

flint_tC

oh yeah but I as did forget to mention I think it sounds excellent....i like the subtle whistle sound after I hit the gas after a shift :D

daggerSLADE

dont ya get that with the stock intake? cuz i remember hearin it before i put the TRD air filter in (yeah i know im behind the times) but i notice that whistle almost every time i shift and press the gas .. i like it alot

BlkSandPrlTurbotC

Good Question! Hmmmm who has the trd axle back exhaust and a K&N CAI?!

Someone posted links with video at the post below. Definitely plug in your sub to your PC if you have one. It sounds VERY nice.

Nope, still sounds good and clean. Though, maybe I'm crazy, but it sounds a bit quieter. This could be due to the fact that I'm use to a quiet front and the rumble of the exhaust int he back, now I have to compete and listen to my intake which is very throaty (I love it) and the exhaust so the noise, as it were, is more evenly distributed thru the entire car.

Nonetheless I love it and wouldn't trade it ^_^

It may be just me but, at times (WOT, high RPM) the intake is considerably louder than the exhaust. Of course the driver is closer to the intake than the exhaust...

I bought my car new with the TRD exhaust 1.5 weeks ago and added the K & N CAI this week. The TRD was pretty quiet and I was really ____ed that I bought it. The addition of the CAI actually made the TRD sound deeper and louder, it is awesome sounding now! I can't hear the CAI much until I get to above 4k rpm then it's a LOUD whoosh. I love the fact it's pretty throaty and tame untill you whack the throttle, then it's like telling everyone to get out of your way because your're coming through.
