Or if noise is what you want just go vroom vroom when you step on the gas.

Engine noise is a large part of the cars overall experience, what's wrong with wanting to hear it more? I've had slow cars that sound amazing that were way more fun that quiet fast cars. I doubt anyone here would notice the 5hp difference of any airbox changes in either direction.

As for increasing induction noises I got rid of the cowl myself and run the BMS cabin air filters. I can hear EVERYTHING through them. The turbo sounds are awesome and I highly recommend it. I'm still on the stock airbox as well.
