I hear that a Cold Air Intake will make the turbo sound a little bit louder even without takeing the turbo silencer off. I perfer the AFE stage 2 Cold Are Intake, and for the manifold intake, I perfer the Bank High Ram. But alot of people also like at ATS.

I took my banks high-ram off and replaced it with the CFM+ manifold for at least 2 reasons. 1. It flowes more air. & 2. the composit material that they use does not transfer heatlike the cast aluminum ones do. So you get more flow and a cooler air charge.
