I know when I did my Cobra intake on an otherwise stock car, it really woke it up in the upper RpM.

I personally don't feel like it's enough to tell the difference. I ran a gt40 tubular with a 65mm tb and didn't feel it when I swapped it onto a stock engine.
As for louder, that's probably your imagination.
