Slightly louder. Its sounds loud at WOT, but not as loud as AEM. IMO it has a very good deep agressive sound. No flames but IMO it sounds way better than AEM. Quick give me a bucket of water here comes the flames!

Thank you, but it looks like I won't be needing that firehose. Phew I thoght it was going to get heated for sure. Oh well cool thing it didn't. I guess everyone can agree with me. When I say Comptech Icebox is the best intake in the world. Haha the world. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ha ha ha. Oops my fault didn't mean to get so out of hand.

I don't remember what stock sounds like. I had the AEM on weeks after buying the car. I put the Icebox on a month ago. I like the Icebox better. It has a much nicer sound (to me), and the power delivery is much smoother and more uniform than with the AEM. I'll still throw the AEM back on if I want the sound, but I think the Icebox is a better intake. The Icebox also fits a lot better than the AEM did. I have no clearance problems anywhere with it. Install did take a little longer though.

probably sound almost stock with the rubber inake hose, i have the full setup (aluminum short ram & icebox), a bit louder than stock, very nice, deep growl on VTEC (deep, considering it's above 6000 RPM). I get many compliments at autoX on the sound of my R compared to stock or AEMed GS-Rs.
