    So if I buy any 04-07 supercharged Grand Prix and put the K&N CAI on it - it will sound like this: ?

    yes, but the k&n is overpriced and gives poor performance. Any cone filter slapped onto your intake pipe will sound like that...if you want to save your money, you can make your own, or if you want a good performing intake for a good price, check out TDC fender-well intakes.

    the roots style blowers have a whine to them. like said any open cone filter set up will bring this sound out. the stock air intake is designed to keep it quite.

    Will the TDC keep it quite or allow it to be loud like this?

    yup, if you get any aftermarket intake, wizaired, tdc, k&n, msp, thrasher, a fenderwell or shortram made yourself, its gonna have that whine

    I was on my cell phone windows up and got on the freeway and the person on the other end of the phone heard my SC whine. Of course I had the radio on. I just made my own intake. But im going to do the FWI just as soon as I get my tires...grrr

    they are built in noise reducers. sealing them makes the blower louder. not really at WOT, but part throttle it is a lot louder.

    the best intake if all you want to hear is whine is just shoving a cone filter on the throttle body or the MAF if you have an 04+.
