    Uh, it is louder, especially under heavy throttle, like a sucking sound under the hood, but I did notice an immediate butt dyno increase in horsepower, whatever that is worth.

    Carburetors are for old folks who are afraid of that new fangled computer stuff..

    LS engines for the win... best bang for your buck anywhere in the automotive scene.

    cool

    and now that I've re-read this thread... I think I actually have a 3" pod filter just laying around

    FWIW warm air through the intake will help fuel economy... colder air will hurt it (but help performance) a more free flowing intake will help both.

    Um, given my recent experience with performance mufflers, I might as well give up on this idea, I think it would be different if the VX was somewhat quiet originally b/c then you could gradually get louder, but seeing as how our poor thing already is so loud it really doesn't take much to get intolerable to me
    and yes, I've already dynamatted (?) it
