Strange intake question

What would happen if I used different intake setups on each turbo?
ie stock on right logos fai on left?

You'd potentially be creating a wide disparity in performance between turbos and each cylinder bank, likely throwing things out of whack, computer-wise. The car would probably run just fine under everyday driving, but a heavy load, things could get dicey. I'd be willing to bet nothing catastrophic, but nothing beneficial either. Most importantly....why would one want to do something like this?!????

That’s what I was thinking
I really wanted to see if it is the intake that makes these “cheap” sounds more prevalent. I understand it would be stupid and pointless to run only 1 side with aftermarket intake. But I do like most of the turbo sounds I get
