Cobb Intake

[RBYM]

I live in CA so I need an intake to be carb legal. Will this Cobb intake have more turbo noises vs oem airbox with drop in filter?

Yes, it will make more turbo noise compared to the factory airbox with any type of filter in it.

If you just want noise, open the bottom of the stock box... It's reaches to the bottom of the radiator so you're not pulling in hot air and the noises are belissimo, I've been quite happy with mine!

I lopped the entire bottom off with a Dremel, just the thinnest slice to make it even

You can also do this for more noise. I recall doing that back in ~2017 on my first car before I eventually ran a CPE intake. The CPE was a little louder than a cut open factory box but not by much, maybe 10-15% more noise?
