I too have read all sorts of posts on intakes and this summer plan to get the calmini and the K&N aircharger/FIPK. Basically you don't have to worry about your X sounded like an import. The intake will only enhance the sound of the calmini system, if it was gonna sound like an import, you'd have to have some sort of high tone muffler and a big 'ole 4'' tail pipe/tip (for effect). from what I've read, the intake/exhaust combo gives some power and sounds real good, my advice don't worry, and go for it if you got the $$. Hope this helps
