Why buy an intake purely for sound reasons? Are you not concerned about performance or upsetting the balance of the car?
That's almost as bad as those kids that have stock civics with those large aluminum wings or stupid lights, neon, horrible body kits or stickers!
"But they make me faster!"
Luckily, some of the intakes on the market will actually give you a slight performance gain. As for mods on an N/A car, an intake is usually the only worthwhile mod for the price. Look at the dynos of those that had an intake compared to those who had the intake and added exhaust and headers...they lost power!!!!
Kids these days...the things I see...it's crazy!
I'd rather be all go and no show, rather than those concerned about all show and no go.
But hey, that's just me and my opinion. And we all know what they say about opinions....
As Road Rage has stated, being stealth is usually better off in the long run.

Few loses some HP but I see many people gains HP/Torque too.
It's matter of choosing right brand parts for what you need.
