All aftermarket intakes will produce some form of sound or growl. Probably the number one reason people get them. As to whether the sound is good is debatable, but i'm sure you'll like it.

Definitely order an AEM kit online. Seems like just about everything in this world these days turn out to be cheaper when you buy it online and/or Ebay and is worth the wait in most cases. Heck, I buy girl scout cookies in small bulk from Ebay instead of those stupid little girls cuz its cheaper for me that way.

I don't have a CAI in my Blazer, but had one in my previous ride which was a Saturn sedan. It had an AEM one when I traded it, but I had an ebay knockoff and a custom one in there prior to the AEM. If I had a choice on one for the Blazer, I would make my own just to save money and I don't find it that difficult to make them. If I had to choose a well known brand then AEM no questions asked.

 

definately AEM...

their website has these indepedent filtration tests to show which filters are more efficient and AEM blew them(competitors) away

 

That's what I want. One that growls. What brand would be best for a growl?
Fram, K&N or AEM?
I know my friend put a AEM in his Dodge pickup and it makes a growl.

 

the only one i have heard is my K&N but im sure they all sound similar. put a new muffler on if you want a nice growl

 

Yeah, I'm still debating on which type of Flowmaster. 40 or 50 series. I'd put a glasspack on it, but I live in the suburbs and the cops wouldn't like that too much.

 

theres always MAGNAFLOW <= thats my truck

 

My friend put a Magniflow on his Dodge pickup, along with the AEM intake, and my brother said it growls but I've never heard it for myself since he's been away at college. But I don't want an exhaust that has that high pitched kinda ricer sound to it. I want a good deep toned growl without having to take my cat out. I know 40 series is pretty deep.

 

the 40's sound good. someone posted a link to the FM super44 "offroad" verison... it has a diamond-plate casing around the muffler.

im sure it helps protect the muffler especially since ours are pretty exposed from underneath

I made that video today of my exhaust. I made a few yesterday from different angles.
On putfile it has bad sound quality, but when I open it on my winamp it sounds better.
When I put my intake in I'll do another video. I'm looking at intakes right now on their site.
