Um, I guess if your more into sound and looks than performance then go for it. Although countless tests show that a CAI causes turbulence too close to the maf sensor and throws your air fuel ratios off causing you car to run worse than it does with the stock air box, but if the sound does it for you more power to ya!!!

Gagan has a point, but only in relation to N/A cars, where intakes usually always help.

If you really want your intake to sound better, cut out the intake resonator snorkle in the fender, and install a piece of 45-90* plastic tube to feed air to the airbox from the fender, then install an ITG foam panel filter in your stock airbox.

I can hear my intake air, my stock bypass valve, and I get better throttle response too...
