Default Maximizing CAI sound

I have a Spectre CAI on my 97 2.2L Honda Accord...
is there anyway to maximize the sound of my CAI? because it sounds absolutely amazing. I know silencing my exhaust will allow it to be heard a little better, but what else could I possibly do? Some people said to remove the heat shield.. but I want some advice from people who have experience with Honda Accords...

thanks
Zach

The SRI has shorter piping and can fit perfectly in the engine compartment. The CAI is longer and has to go in the front bumper space, sucking up cold air thus being a CAI.

The SRI has quicker throttle response in the lower RPMs.

The CAI slower throttle response but quicker in higher RPMs.

That should help you label what you have haha.

Negative. It is a known fact that SRI has a deeper growl. Your friend might have a crappy SRI =]
