I just got my mustang, don't have much money so all I can do for now is remove the air silencer and add a K&N filter. I hear this makes the car louder... this is a rather dumb question but how much louder? And is it a nice growl like a GT or just annoyingly louder? I ask this b/c the last truck I had was LOUD but not in a good way, it was just annoying.

if its what im thinking of, the air silencer being removed just is a sucking noise at about 4k rpm's (it was on an 02 gt)...unnoticable if the radio is on. Intake changes usually won't alter the sound i don't think.
some websites recommend moving it as an alternative to buying a cold air intake system never tried it myself but im betting the sound would almost be the same as having the cold air intake and its not that noticable

no, its nothing like that. it isn't that loud. not to mention it's the AIR silencer, not the exhaust silencer (muffler), so it's nothing like you expect, and i think knupxfon is just pulling s**t right out of his ass. I really doubt it would sound different on a V-6 compared to a V-8. It's just a sucking noise at bout 4k RPM's, nothing more.
