you will get the most audible sound from the ikon.. but no real benifit. Have to spend money on getting it weld on.

intake, say that gruppe M, will save you 200 dollars at least , will offer a bit better mileage, does not require any welding (easy DIY) , and it makes a sound.. BUT, you have to rev over 3k rpm in most cases in order to hear the sound.

Get the best of both worlds, get an AFe intake and then cut your muffler off.
