all of them dont really give you any performance, all it does is just make ur engine breath better.

and as sounds.... really dont know about that. Whenever i bought the Aftermarket CAI from AM.com, it made a whisling sounds but whenever i got the 56mm BBK Throttle body the whisling went away. It sounded like the tip of a vaccum cleaner (Not the vaccum itself but whenever its sucking in the air but thats whenever i would give it sum gas)

hey dude, i have an 02 mustang, my fav model, i think personally it sounds better than the 4 liter in the new mustangs. BUT on my car i have Cold air, and i have 1 flowmaster 40 in place of the stock muffler. I think it sounds great. Of course the best CAI u can get is a K&N one, but i got a 75 dollar one, u wont get no more power out of all of them. just looks under the hood and ALOT Better sound IMHO. I feel more power out of mine, but maybe it was becuz my K&N was a little dirty.

You want a CAI that requires a new tune as those are the intakes that make power on the 05+ cars.
