Turbo Whine

Love the car, but wish it had the distinctive turbo whine under acceleration.
Anything to be done about this? CAI?

An intake (and intake pipe to the turbo) will drastically increase the whooshy turbo sounds. There is a lot of baffling in the stock air intake the muffles that quite a bit.

Arma speed intake. The turbo noise and waste gate noise you will get from a one piece turbo inlet/intake pipe are insane.

I personally have the Armaspeed and can vouch for it, others have said the MST also provide quite a bit of noise.

If sound is all you want, the Armaspeed intake is probably the loudest

The amount of baffling on the stock turbo inlet is crazy. I've seen suppressors with less noise reduction properties.

Not looking specifically for sound alone, but is important

Yes.

Sounds is about all you're going to get from any intake. The stock airbox is quite good and unless you get a Turbo heat shield or blanket, and just figure out how to drop IATs as a whole you aren't going to gain anything substantial from an intake alone...at least without a tune to take advantage of the extra air and lower IATs.

These manufacturers claims of 20hp with an intake are comical.

CAI with no cover and you’ll get plenty of sound

I personally have my eye on the AWE one. I like that you can buy a cover separately as you’d want that for max power.

I use the MST v2. It's very loud in and out of the cockpit, windows up or down.

Go with Armaspeed or MSTv2 intakes. Plenty of turbo spool noise and flutter.

I have the full CTS with CTS lower intake pipe and it is quite loud as well. lots of "whine and whoosh"
