Quickest, cheapest and easiest option is to either drill the hell out of the lower section of your airbox or whack an induction kit on. That followed by a larger bore exhaust pipe, preferably with a 4 branch mainifold and you should be well on your way to getting more pleasing sound from your motor.

Get an exhaust system, but not a loud one, just a tastful one. Preferable not straight through, but cat back.

Then an ok induction kit, maybe even a BMC Carbon one.

Then it will sound tasteful, but not "BURRRRRRR change BURRRRRRR change BURRRRRRRRRRR"

BURRRRRRRRRR CHANGE BURRRRRRRRRRR IS BETTER THAN BWARGHHHHHHHHHH CHANGE BWARGHHHHHHHHHH or is Bwargh the same as Burr just more pedal, either way my powerflow sounds cool not too loud and only hits the axle when ive got people in the back
