if you want a rumble try a glass pack or just run stright headers. no pipes. this is really loud tho. K&N does work, but are you just gonna use your stock air breather or one of those fancy open race breathers?

naturally quiet? Heh... thats funny.

I havent heard a 50series yet. My friend put 40's on a 98GT and I would NOT reccomend them at all. around 2000rpm ( depending on engine) there is a VERY loud drone, its sounds great outside the car... but inside the car was nearly deafening after driving more than 30mi at 2000rpm.

Another guy I know has a "SUV" type I think its a 70-series. It has a good sound to it but is fairly quiet. I would go with a 50 or 70 if I were you. I'm going with a 70 myself, my mustang is more than loud enough ( and thats a just a straight 6 with dual turbo mufflers! very loud! ) So I want something realitivly quiet for my commuting where i drive 2hrs on the highway at a time.

STAY AWAY from glasspacks!!!
