Is it possible that adding an intake can make your exhaust sound louder/deeper?

I was gonna buy a nismo CB of a nismo Z, but was afraid of the sound being to quiet inside. I didnt want to make the mistake many people make and buy the nismo only to later sell it for a different system. I skipped the middle man and went straight to fast intentions. The 18" system is surprisingly quiet, but loud enough to get the job done in the most civilized manner. The sound outside is not that loud at all, and inside it lets you know what the engine is doing whilst allowing you to carry on a conversation or listen to low volume music. Good stuff for sure.

I think the sound of the air intakes are over-rated and to BWAH sounding rather than the racing sound the car naturally has. Best bet is to try and hear it in person and decide, both the exhaust and the intake.
