Not technically an NA mod but nitrous is quiet. Weight reduction, or possibly cams and tune with a stock exhaust.

But bang for buck, "quiet per hp" I stand by my original suggestion.

you got a vid of what yours sounds like?

Do you have a video clip of your setup for reference?

once one pushes the Play button.. oh.. Start... I get them confused... anyway.. once you press play... take the word Quiet out of any equation... go all electric or go home... it's been / being done... you want a QUIET Mod.. search the threads and read what the S-Electric boyz are up to... cause it's QUIET.... myself, I like the noise.. but I do love their work..

Why not just add a resonator or maybe even two. seems like they do the best at quieting cars.

No, but just youtube any FIPK youtube video and that's what mine sounds like. The intake is really the only thing that alters the sound from stock, and even then you only hear the intake when you are hard on the throttle. At a cruise it sounds stock.

I just had a LW flywheel and AP2 secondary gear into my Ap1 and without any other hp mods, it feels a bit livelier. placebo or not who knows but i'm thrilled with no NVH penalty.

You could always get gears if you don't care about total gas mileage and make it feel faster
