i dunno, i tend to disagree with most of the responses to this thread. once i put my CAI on, aside from the noise it makes from sucking the air in, my exhaust sounds a bit louder/deeper. not a whole lot, but it was noticable.

I dont think an CAI will change it but an intake manifold will. A KB changed my exhaust sound alot...

it wont change your exhaust note but will pick up a "swooshing" sound from the intake

yes, yes it will. you'll get somewhat of a deeper note. mine for example all i have now is a K&N intake and sounds different than than other same years stock. intakes do change the sound a bit.
