Does it not roar when you punch it or when you rev your engine? It wont if you just rev it at a stand still, but when your flooring it, it should.

maybe you got a defective CIA, it is possible, send it back and ask for another, if that one does the same thing then it is either that particular brand or your engine, hope it's not the engine and best of luck

i agree with phatice, i have the jwt pop charger with stillen z tube, and man does it roar a WOT from 4000 rpm, it whistles like hell too at low rpm's, ricers thinks its either a turbo spooling or a supercharger screaming! LOL

performance wise, intakes don't really make that much, probably couple hp, it's all about sound wise, so i say that combo is really good, or instead of stillen z-tube, get the oem z-tube
