Is it worth swapping my CTS intake for the MST intake?

Would it be worth swapping my CTS air intake for the MST air intake for the slight sound difference?

I would think not - while I am not intimately familiar with one vs the other - I would have to believe they are quiet similar. That said if you haven't coded off your ADS yet I would suggest you do - just to hear what is real and go from there| While there is no measurable power gains on our M340s with an intake - based on what I have heard in person most all open element intakes (with a cover or not) basically sound the same.

Hope this helps

Hey, thanks this definitely helps. I had a feeling/knew the sounds were similar, but honestly the OCD in me would still swap out the intakes even if the sound difference was terribly marginally small.

which intake do you have?
