i noticed a louder tone from the engine. i dont know if it's noticeable to others outside the car like if you had headers or something like that.
i also note hearing the intake "intake-ing" when i hit the gas going into 3rd and 4th gear! definitely noticeable throttle response difference as well. dont expect to be thrown back in your seat tho. its not that serious.

yeah i noticed a difference: smoother at lower engine speeds, and a lil quicker pick-up at higher engine speeds and WOT (wide open throttle), and i figure if you can hear the growl being more pronounced inside the cabin, then you have to be able to hear it outside.
next time you go through an underpass or tunnel, downshift a gear (or floor it for you auto tranny guys  ) and let 'er rip! you'll somewhat notice how much louder the intake became.

When I was goin threw this tunnel I revved my engine and this guy on a motorcycle was goin in between cars and I guess got next to me and almost hit the car next to him I guess he got scared I felt bad
Modded intake + trd exaust + quick high rev + tunnel = people getting scared

Nice, I love the Injen exhaust, but I dont care if the megan drift specs are made like crap, they sound AWESOME. I would put on on my car if i didnt have headers. My boy has The megan with an injen intake and it sounds 30x better than any exhaust i heard on a tC. Even the turboed tCs. I heard they are made like shyt tho.

maybe the crappy production actually makes it sound good. they sacrificed quality for sound. yea it's a shame. but then their products wouldnt be as cheap in price either.

I just did this, with a K&N intake filter, and I cannot belive how much this improves the sound, and the throttle response. I just dont understand why they dont does this from the get go.

Well, that would make sense...the more air that you let in, the more exhuast fumes that comes out. You know it might be for sound because consumers dont like noise or vibration...people are weird. In Car and Drive, they rated a car a whole point lower because they felt the cup holder wasnt deep enough. So...
