    Is this true
    Owners have reported an "aggressive" sound coming from the engine (by removing the top of the air box on 2000-up Neon). If you are thinking about any modifications, you should start here first.

    Is this true? If so any input?

    Doesn't surprise me when you modify the air intake you can make the car sound louder. Don't expect much of a performance boost if any.

    CAI sounds cool
    No real noticeable performance gain with a CAI according to my butt-meter, but there are some benefits. Your engine will breathe better with the extra air flow and measurable gains are possible if you combine a CAI with an ECU upgrade and the right free-flow exhaust system.

    I must emphasize that the right combination of mods is critical. Otherwise, the gains you seek may not be realized and the wrong combination may just result in money wasted.
