Can I hear the difference between CAI and stock?

I want to see if anyone has sound clips of videos with Stock air filter VS. CAI systems to see what everybody is talking about. Does anyone have any sound clips or videos with the before and after mods? Thinking about doing a CAI mod. Either Alta, DDM/M7, or Craven. Any other to suggest or have sound clips/videos. I want to HEAR the Difference.

I don't have a clip of mine but you will hear the difference. Any intake that pulls air from the cowl area is going to make the supercharger whine louder.

I had a before sample, but im not sure where i put it on the pc...but you shouldnt even need a before clip. go outside and listen to your car, and compare the difference to these.
