so throwing in a CAI makes the engine not only louder but throws in some OTHER sound? sorry, I'm pretty new to the whole tuning scene. Also I'm thinking of getting a new header, should I get alphawerks or DC?

A CAI will make the engine just barely louder at idle. When you're cruising, you'll hear it a little bit. When you mash the throttle it'll sound MEAN!

Intake sounds are great

I'd get a DC header.

a tree falling in the woods...lol Sorry, I couldnt resist!! The other sound would be a bit of a "whoosh" from the air intake gulping down more O2.

And when you shut the engine off you can hear a faint "woosh" also

louder because the airbox acts also as a resonator.
