I suggest telling them that tehy get the "woosh" sound because they are ricers and suck. You are satisfied with the increased breathing efficiency of your new modification. Perhaps if you get some exhaust work done, the engine will be able to move more air, giving you the sound effects you're hearing about, but in the mean time, I'd say you're better off not sounding turbo. That's the last thing you want people to hear under your hood (unless you actually have a turbo in there).

they sell this thing called an electronic BOV (blow off valve). what it does is make that cool PSSSSHHHT sound everytime you let off the gas. that way your car sounds like a turbo car without all the hassle and $$$$ of turbocharging your car. your car will sound bad ass for only a fraction of the cost. it's easy to install and won't possibly damage your car like a turbocharger. if you can find a guy named mrlocalpimp he can probably hook you up and give you recommnedations on which one to get.

yeah, those are awesome the only sound you may hear is when you are in neutral (or park if your auto) and tap on the gas fast it will make the sound of air being sucked up for a second and you may here it more than stock at top end but you're stupid if you bought a CAI for the sound.

I too could not hear mine until I got a K&N filter. The car picked up and ran faster and also I now can hear the air being sucked into the engine at about 4000RPM's and above. It sounds great but thankfully you can't hear it outside the car. Go to any Autoparts store and purchase a K&N filter with the X-stream flow top. Put it on and you will love it much more.
