Hey Folks! I was wonderinig if changing the air filter on my intake would change the sound at all, really liked the sound the HKS intake made, but it was over 1k for the full set, almost double MST. I went with the MST and I am happy with it but I wonder, if I put a different air filter would it change the sound at all ?

This is the intake I was looking at :

I feel like the sound will change and the sound would be quieter.

It likely won't make a meaningful difference in sound. That said, if it's a concern those OG SMF filters are absolutely horrendous at actually filtering, hence why they 'flow' well. Back in the day the media had a tendency to get brittle from heat and flake off killing countless compressor wheels. I had one a MKIV back in like 2004 for a short while.
