But I don't think is cause you have SRI that it doesn't make noise. I had AEM SRI and it was loud under hard acceleration from 3000 up. I now have FIPK and it has a nice sound under hard acceleration.
Actually a bigger filter should be louder and deeper sound than a smaller one.
I haven't tried it with a TB but with a 4 bbl carb and no inake at all it will roar like hell. So I don't think the pipe length has much to do with it. Possibly your filter is too dense, or dirty or something. I bet if you stidk the right size K&N filter on there you'll get sound. That is unless there is some restrictions inside your SRI pipe. What kind is it?

Rep Power: 0 Cai, on average have less sound than SRI's because the filter is further away from the driver.
As for your friend what kind of car is he driving, and what kind of intake does he have on it?

Rep Power: 0 That's right. Going to longer pipe is onlly going to maybe get better performance by taking in cooler air. If you put the filter behind the bumper it actually might be quieter.
Here's how to find out. Take the filter off and make a few runs with just the SRI. See how that sounds. If it gets louder, then you just need a more open, larger area filter.

You'd do better and easier just to use some heavy but flexible rubber hose of the right size.

I agree, I think maybe you have a tiny filter. I have a huge filter and I hear that hissy sound loud when I shut off the car.

I agree Bobbybyrd. My FIPK filter is pretty big too and the deep pleats give lots of flow.[hr]

Yeah, I have a tiny K&N on my 90 hatch and it makes no hissing at all. The Injen make a loud air rushing hissing noise when I should it off.

I had made my own intake but i cut and welded mines It was shor ram. i even had it teflon coated in gray. 3" tube the sound was nice from takeof but slower. faster after 30 mph. well i still went and but a cai it was the best thing i have ever done the power gain feel s good the sound isnt as loud untill high rpm like you sayed but it still feels nice. by the way the tube was heavy if you could get your hands on an aluminum tube that would be the best light, weight. By the way were are you from if you live near Milwaukee i could polish the tube and chrome plate it before you put your bends. but only if you live near by.[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG] ill put a pic up later of what the intake i made looks like.

Rep Power: 306 if you were to make a homemade intake, i wouldnt use metal piping, instead i would use PCV piping. thats the same stuff that is used in plumming, you know those white tubes and stuff... well yeah, i dont think you should drive without a filter either, just my two cents.
