best sounding cai?

I have a 2010 f 150 4.6 2v. I have cat back magnaflow, and an sct. I know the intake isn't worth much on the performance side, but was wondering from experience, what is the best sounding intake. I want loud!!

I had a MAC CAI with the aluminum tube on my '01 5.4L. It sounded like an open element 4 barrel Holley carb when I got on it. It would actually mask the Dynomax exhaust I had on it.

I had an AFE CAI on my '07.5 4.6L STX and a Maggie 3" Catback. I never once heard the CAI. Any CAI with an aluminum tube will be louder than one with a polymer tube.

The best sounding intake imo is the one that sounds like only $15 in parts from Lowes to modify your OEM into a 3" inducting CAI. But retains sound.

For noise, any open filtered ( poorer performing ) intake with an aluminum tube, or the AEM Brute Force.
