Default Question for Injen intake users

It's been a while since I've modified a car...about 4 years. I can't remember what things sounded like. For you guys that have the Injen intake, or had it on before exhaust/header, how was the sound driving around town? Was it loud during normal driving?

Agreed, when driving normally, (accelerating slowly) YOU CAN'T HER IT, maybe a little whine* sound. When pressing the gas peadl more than a third or more, it's audible... ooh and what a pleasant sound it is

yea, but to anyone that doesn't have the intake, I HIGHLY recommend it! The whistle is pretty subtle and I hope ppl don't get the idea that it's obnoxious.. it's kinda like a 'tsss' (if you have a creative mind you can pretend you have a turbo, minus the speed)

Yeah, I'm with TeeCizzle on that, I just installed my Injen yesterday and did the recommended ECU reset so it can learn the fuel maps again, but I get no whistling sound. I'm rather new to car mods, but I think if it were whistling I'd notice it, but wow, normal driving it's just hardly audible, but when you stomp it to pass someone that baby comes to life an you know you car is gulping the air down as fast as it can if you don't have one, get one and you'll never regret it.
