Which Brand of CAI Sounds the Best?

Does anyone have any opinions on which CAI produces the best sound? I'm ready to get one and I'm leaning towards the Pop Charger w/ Z-tube, but I was wondering how this would compare to Injens CAI?

Any opinions?

Although some may argue that the Z-Tube/Pop Charger is not a real CAI per se, I do think it sounds the best. This combo will give you a cruel growl. Floor the car downtown and you'll see everyone turning their heads gawking at you while you do a flyby - Priceless

I've never heard the others, but I can tell you the Stillen w/ the z tube is nice sounding.

My wife thought I changed the mufflers!! It makes a nice throaty growl at WOT. It makes soem beautiful engine sounds at the high rpm (5000-7000).

I don't think I like the PC for the same reason. That whistle ruins it.

I have the pop/ztube as well and the whistle I hear is very faint, usually at 4k rpm. Is the whistle really loud or noticeable for you guys?
