The sound difference is minor (to me), though you can hear the turbos spooling which some like and some don't. I did it for the extra power.
As far as the heat shield / temp issue, I have a FMIC so it's kinda moot. The people I trust (with data) say that the increased flow outweighs the heat - and the FMIC is more important for hot climates than intake.
I think the AFE looks better, but I didn't think the extra dollars were worth it.
After installing the DCI, OCC and FMIC - I'm done with power modifications. Downpipes and exhaust aren't worth the hassle and if I decide to spend extra money on the car it will be for the suspension.
