I've got a squealer thanks to Pilo Racing
 
I orderd an intake from Pilo who actually got it to my school faster than my school could get it to the mail room (took them two days grrr). I installed it in the school parking lot so I did not do as thorough a job as I would have liked in trimming the back wall out. I will need to do a nicer job at home this weekend.

Also, I didn't have any tools up here so I went to Sears and bought a cheap "Companion" brand socket set to keep in the MINI for times like these. For $15 it came with a SnapOn style rachet which does not cut your hands up like all the regular craftsman tools I have. Its a full metric and standard set in 1/4" drive up to 12mm I think, pretty handy.

Sound is great...the little guy squeals with joy now. Feels like some extra kick in the pants too. Thanks Pilo Racing.

mostly referred to as "whineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" but squealer works too.

Hahaha reminds me of when I installed my CAI in the HomeDepot parking lot, because I did not have any tools with me either at school. Goodtimes

I was surprised how much whine can be heard at a stand still revving now. It used to only appear under load but now its highly available at all times.

In the quest for more squealing I will be removing a lot more wall. Cheers

That would make for a LOT MORE squealing, I only need a little bit more. Not quite that much.

Hehehehe. Yeah I run a Magnaflow CBE and bystanders say the SC is far louder than the exhaust when I get on the throttle. Makes me a bit sad that the 2007's will not have it. Of course a nice aftermarket BOV with the turbo can sound good too!

I thought I'd update this after a nice full weekend with the intake on.

The little guy pulls NOTICEABLY harder. I didn't think it was going to make that much of a difference but he really pulls hard now. I had a few interesting run ins on the way back to school (an STI, e36 M3, Q7 4.2) and held my own. Ciao
