It makes a BIG hissing sound when your engine is on, and when u go more than 3000rpm, it 'll sound like a muffler, but not as loud.

Tips don't really make any sound.

The CAI will have a nice growl when you hit the gas hard, but if you drive grandma style, then you won't hear anything.

Hmmm im pretty sure the DX should fit on your LX. Do you have a snap shot of your LX engine?

I'm pretty sure the intake will fit a DX, LX, EX and Si. Is your throttle body sideways or upright?

automatic/manual shouldn't make a difference well, put it this way, does your engine compartment look like this (sorry Darkwing, I stole a pic, you can sue me if you want. )

Sorry I stole your pic DW, but yours was the only one I could think of with an engine shot of a 5th gen. While I'm stealin pics, the part circled in blue is the throttle body.
