You could install the charge pipe using the stock diverter valves instead of a bov attached to it if that noise is bothering you since it definitely comes from bov, not from the pipe itself. Anything other than stock dv have their pros and cons, some like them some don't so it comes down to personal preference, especially so if you don't have engine tuning and you run stock boost levels. In short the charge pipe itself makes no difference in noise, not to my ears.
