Best Sounding Intake?

First of all, I have searched many times and I've had almost no input on the sound of intakes. This post has nothing to do with making power or strut bars... lol

Since we all know intakes on our engines make next to no power, I want my intake to be the best sounding one. I don't really want a true CAI all the way into the bumper either. Let's hear some opinions and possible have some pictures of intakes installed in the cars. There's a major lack of those in here, almost no pics of intakes installed.

I used to have injen cai, sounded nice. Unless someone has installed a bunch of different brands on their car, it'll be hard to say "what sounds the best"

I had an ebay SRI for awhile then traded to a Injen CAI and I must say the ebay one was louder then the CAI. the piping for the ebay one was i think 3" and the injen 2.5" so that could have accounted for the sound difference.

i put my aem cai to a short ram for the winter and its alot louder but thats just b/c the filter is alot closer 2 the hood. i think i may have gained some torque with it 2

i think my intake sounds best. Not exactly top knotch for performance purposes, but i ran out of 3" aluminum bends. So i just made it a filter on a stick. And they dont exactly make an intake for my intake manifold

If it's red, it's a V1 AEM CAI. V2 only comes one color. Get V2 for sound and a bit of performance gain.

And... yes, ricer. 2k2civ34 called the cards right.
