It's not bad, its not annoying, it sounds good. If you don't like it, just take it off, there are no changes you can't easily reverse.

Hey Slim,
Most riders actually like some induction sound. Reminds me of when my dad would get into the accelerator on our Dodge Monaco when I was a kid. The four barrels sucking in that air would get my attention fast and plaster a smile on my face!
I installed RamAir this past weekend and it sounds really good. I wouldn't change a thing.

I’m cool with induction noise, I thought some people were mentioning valve noise, not cool with that. Many thanks for the reply (to all)Hey Slim,

No valve noise
Plenty of induction noise especially when you open it up

They call it 'crickets' on the forum here with both K&N and RamAir but more pronounced with RamAir some say. Not valves just air induction that varies with different loads and RPM. Most find it pleasant but those who want a stock quiet exhaust may not appreciate it.

I have 2 high horsepower Roadsters -i with K&N Paper filters and the other with UNI Foam Filters and I got to say the paper filters are the noisy ones.
If you are concerned you can glue some sound matting to the inside of the bear claw - that helps heaps.

I installed RamAir on my 2008 Rocket a few months ago and only found the induction roar had the effect of some sort of giggle gas. Along with a cat delete a set of Tors and a Dyno tune it seems to have now turned into laughter gas !
