Best sounding intake?

What is an intake supposed to sound like? I have the takeda CAI and it just sounds like a humming of air going through aluminum tubes.

The Greddy Airinx (which looks exactly the same as the Takeda) is another option. You can get the long tube intake gains without the worry of cutting things up.

My only thing is I can't decide if I want to bother with bumper removal everytime I want to check/clean the air filter. Now that there is a long tube intake option that doesn't require me to cut up my car, that is my only thing left.

Anyone with a Takeda/Akuma/Greddy intake that had to wrap their A/C lines?

Takeda here, no wrapping A/C lines for there was no metal to metal contact here.
