Got an AIRAID Modular Intake Tube
Well, my girlfriend got me the AIRAID modular intake tube for Christmas. This will replace the stock intake tube with the baffles. While i'm at it, i'll most likely pluck the silencer ring too.

Well, after about 20 minutes, I had the whole job done....I'll post differences in sound, power, etc. later. The silencer ring popped right out with 2 screwdrivers....didn't even have to search for my snap ring pliers which have been missing for a while.

I am very impressed with the results. The turbo sings nicely (not too loud) and the throttle response seems crisper. It may be my imagination, but I am happy with the results. It's amazing how restrictive the factory tubing looked.

Did you check or do you know how much of the turbo sing is due to the AIRAID and how much is due to removing the silencer ring? Also, did you keep the factory air cleaner element?

I am using the AFE mega-cannon (I think that's what they call it) cold-air system with the cone type filter and the noise is not excessive at all. I have the silencer ring removed but still using the same connecting piece between filter assembly and turbocharger. Now the turbo spools MUCH better and faster and I can hear it but it is not intrusive at all.
I changed from the factory airbox to try and get better fuel mileage. I was wondering how restrictive the stock exhaust system is?

Yeah, exhaust is next on my list. I'm probably going to use a Dynomax Ultra Flow or a Flowmaster Delta Force Muffler. I may even try a Flowmaster 70 series Muffler.
