I noticed no difference at all. However, I have a Twin 1 and gutted DPs, so it might mask the noise

Default Seeing you're running a S-Flow intake with it, yes. I have the same set-up and

it does have a bit of a ssssssucking sound.

What year is your car? ITG w/ oil is a bad idea with a Bosch MAF FWIW.

Default Got it. The sucking sound can be heard (in my car at least) at anything above 30-40%

throttle. At WOT it is much more noticable.

Default I have the ITG S-Flow. It's not something that you hear in the cabin at all. I

can hear it with the windows down and only when I'm on the throttle. Most people don't even notice the difference in their own car once they change the air box.

Default this was the first mod i did on my a4. (back then we called it SWISSBOX)

and i have rs4 airbox now in the car with ITG s-flow inside it. (hardly any change)

however with the SWISSBOX/Darintake the turbo is a slight bit louder (As in you hear the turbine a drop more, and you can hear the intake making a "WOOOSH" 'ing sound on WOT.

there is no significant difference in sound like a stock civic/integra vs. cone filter civic/integra if thats what youre asking...
