Yes, FI is not quite as loud as some other exhausts. But rather than replace your exhaust, consider HFCs or TPs which will release a lot more of the lovely VQ note you seek. Of course, rasp and/or drone are more likely possibilities depending on your particular configuration. Or as mentioned above, you can dump the exhaust muffler for short tails.

No intakes are known for their sound. But yes, most aftermarket intakes start to get noticeably louder with lots of throttle around 4K RPMs and up. Note that drop-in filters and post-MAF tubes have shown nearly the same gains as G3s. And once you start stacking mods, the hp return diminishes even further.

LTH are expensive. The install is fairly laborious. The gains are pretty minimal. Also add the cost for a tune. Most people just go forced induction - spending money to top out NA hp is not cost effective on this platform.
