How do you intend to change it's voice without changing the voice box? An intake isn't going to do much in terms of changing acoustics.

+1.......... Changing the exhaust, or doing something with one of the three sections is the only way the sound will chnage. Yeah changing the AI to a CAI will help a little bite, but there will not be a night & day difference.
