If you want an aggressive tone get the RPI exhaust.

+1 for more of a feel. some customers have reported back about no sound change (personally I dont hear any change as well in general), and some have reported of hearing more air flow. no doubt though that the gains are there 
I'm already sold on the RPI exhaust for sure (thanks to the youtube sound clips, drive bys). It sounds great. I will be buying it either in January or February (damn Christmas, Christenings, misc. gifts in the coming months, aaaahhh). I was just trying to see if I could get more noise up front with the scoop.
Thanks for all the suggestions and input. I will most likely go with the scoop/filter/charcoal delete. The intake might not be worth the hassle (not to mention the dealer may mark my car as modded and void some sort of warranty, they are good at that).
Hopefully tomorrow I can get some pictures up of the new car.

I found there to be an increase in sound (K&N and scoop) not huge, but noticeable. Also sold on the RPi exhaust, it arrives in 2 days cannot wait!!! already have an appt. booked for Friday!
