Noticable Sound Difference Between Intake Elbows?

Like heading says, does the trickflow or 1LE elbow add a better and more aggressive sound over the stock one. Vid/audio clips are welcomed

I have no facts on this, but i can't see how the elbow will make it sound different.

When I took the silencer out of my stock one and plugged it (basically a 1le elbow now) I could swear it made the engine sound a little louder. It is getting rid of the silencer. But that just could have been me wanting to hear it like that.

I never noticed a difference between stock and 1LE.

i switched from the stock elbow with donkeydong to a trickflow ceramic........no sound difference i could notice, but even if there was a difference, the engine/exhaust would overpower anything else.

well, when i first got my car it was bone stock. The intake elbow started to have a tear in it, so before it started to let dirt in i replaced it with a 1le, i noticed maybe the sucking sound was a touch louder, but there shortly after i added a CAI which does the most for the intake sound.

When I plugged my intake elbow, it sounded louder on the intake side. In other words, you could really hear the engine suck in the air...
