Do you guys think a CAI (AEM/TRD) will make my car louder if i currently already have the Medallion Touring? especially under normal driving?

The Tanabe is rated 93db not sure if the CAI will help the cause. I like it to be a bit louder... especially under normal driving.

Personally have that axleback with the afe intake and I love the sound. As for cruising like the freeway it is a little louder, but not annoying. After I installed it though I noticed it has a mean sound above 3k rpm at WOT. It sounds very sexy when it's revving and doesn't get annoying at all for normal cruising

Thanks for the reply... I'ma hold off on the CAI for now, the sound gain seems only nominal at low speed, not sure if it's worth the $200+ investment. If I come across an AEM/TRD CAI for cheap I'll reconsider

^ yeah, I was a little disappointed with how the Fujitsubo kinda drowned out the nice growl of the AFE. But then again, the Fujitsubo doesn't sound bad...and it doesn't completely drown out the intake. The TRD CAI does look nice, I must admit. I'll try one of those out and compare it to a Fujita (since I see almost no one has talked about that one).
