Guys, I am sure he means the spooling sound of the turbo.
The reason why you dont hear that sound is because the GTR is a twin turbo car. With a cold air intake that also amplifies the sound of the turbo's spooling. You will hear that whislting sound on any high boost turbo car. The more the boost, the more the noise, and as I said, the intake amplifies the whistling sound by a long shot.
And IS250 is obviously not turbocharged so therefore no whistling sound.
NA cars give a different more roaring sound with intakes, as opposed to the airplane boosted whistling sound which is much nicer imo

The Fsport/JoeZ intake will give you ~5whp
All other short rams (including K&N) will give you gains or losses of ~5hp because they are not using the stock intake box and therefore are sucking more hot air. The upside is that SRIs are louder than the fsport or JoeZ
