Default Loudest intake at WOT?

Which intake do you guys think is the loudest at WOT. Im not sure which intake to get, debating amongst INJEN, JoeZ, Fujita or K&N.....? looking for a better response, and of course sound, since performance difference isnt that much. any suggestions?
which one do you have ? at what range or rpms is the sound noticed?

edit- feel free to post up ur intake system pics etc. or ur opinion

I've only tried the JoeZ (with and without drop in) and the fujita... The JoeZ is bearly louder than stock, but that's the way I like it. The Fujita sounds nice until you get to around 4500rpm at which I think it is TOO loud and ricey. But that's just my opinion.

You're getting an intake just because of how it sounds?

^On the 2IS, there's not much reason other than sound to get one.

Well basically cause the gains are not even that much. I mean intake gains of 2-5 hp is not too noticable when driving, Im looking for better response and sound is a plus, would like a mean growl.

Did you have any fitment problems with the MAF sensor when replacing the oem filter box? I read on some forums the fitment wasnt exact.

Click here if you want to hear the K&N. Make sure you're listening on a real set of speakers, not some tinny laptop speakers. The noise you hear when they floor it is the intake. The low-end sound is from the Tanabe exhaust. And yes, that is me at the bottom of the video...

Fujita, after 4,000 RPM its EXTREMELY LOUD, but not a nice loud, its like a ricey loud. The best way if you want to hear how the Fujita sounds, pull out your air filter and turn on your car, listen to how loud that is and how it sounds, thats exactly how the fujita sounds.

K&N, is a nice deep growl, bassy, not a high pitch loud like the fujita. I think its just perfect, as soon as i find some spare change im getting the K&N. Please note tho, the K&N that I heard had the stock K&N filter replaced with an AEM Dryflow. According to the owner the stock K&N filter is too oily and in the long run could be a bad thing.

Have not heard the Injen so I cant rate/review it.
thanks, ill try it tomorrow. Im looking for a mean grow like muscle car like, leaning towards k&n now. thanks for the comment.. I seen the K&N on ebay for like 100 something, but not sure if its legit. since shops are selling it close to 2bills

My K&N on the 250 sounds exactly like javy's on his 350. That's the way I like it!

theres no difference in sound between the 250 and 350? i would think so since the motor has more ump to it and the displacement is more

From what I can hear on that clip, it sounds almost identical. Well, this is a recording with a compressed sound file, details get lost. I'm sure if you'd hear both in person, you could tell the difference. Probably the 350 has more volume in the sound but the basic tone is the same.
