Intakes and exhausts can be relatively quiet and still produce optimal power. Check out the Audi R10 twin turbo diesels running at LeMans on the Speed Channel as we speak. Deathly quiet and very fast.

You really need to read more of the previous posts. Many of your assumptions are just flat-out wrong.
Do you mean that he's wrong with regards to every single car made? Obviously, this guys knows about cars and the compromises in air intake designs. I've personally added between 5-10 HP with a air intake/filter change on a 1996 Taurus SHO, a 2001 Mustang Bullitt and a 1991 Mustang 5.0. His assumptions may be incorrect in the case of a 1994 Q45- but isn't that the fun of modifications?

Why does he HAVE to read previous posts?

Rite of passage at NICO.

And yes, not all intake mods are bad. They work quite well on Ford and GM products, and a number of Hyundais and Toyotas. The Saturn Sky has a $500 air intake upgrade option.
