East CAI Advice needed

Hi,
I am a newbie from east Ontario - Ottawa
Just bought a new 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland

I would like to get an CAI

I don't care about the additional power
I want the most loud and nice sound the a CAI can get

Please advice,
Thanks

PS: If you recommend the CAI and know where is the best place to get it
Please mention it

Your not going to get much change in sound from a cold air intake. Look at aftermarket exhaust systems if you want sound.

aftermarket exhaust systems are very expensive
But some people say that the CAI can and does change the sound of the engine,,,

CAI does nada for engine sound, only lets it breath easier. I've got one on everyone of my Jeeps.
Some people think there are UFO's in the tail of Halley's Comet too...

Sorry, couldn't resist...

A CAI will only make a difference in sound when the throttle is wide open. The whole idea of an "air box" is to quite down throttlebody noise. So if you were to get a CAI you will notice a difference in sound and performance, but after saying that CAI will make it louder but not that much louder. If your looking to set off car alarms as your drive down the road I would suggest looking into a performance exhaust.

Thanks for the info
But the cat back probably will be very pricy
And the cat back is always on
I mean the lous sound is always on,
When with cai it's on only when you press hard on gas, correct?
