Yeah I don't think anyone who actually has one would say it's not louder...cause it certainly is

Yes, significantly louder...
The most annoying noise was the part-throttle sucking from the DV being open. Got a lot better after switching to a Forge valve though, since it doesn't open until manifold vacuum is greater.
The DV release noise is very cool.

Not "Louder" more open sounding.....
Its all of the same noises the car makes anyway.
Just opened up! How is that for subjectivity? :-)
No, not loud at all, it does turn up my Borla a bit, more growl, but still very clean & tight!
Minimizes the very airy WOT 1st & 2nd, adds growl
as opposed to rushing air sound I got before.
A very nice Mod to enhance, GIAC & Exhaust!

Huh? You must be smoking the good stuff Anand or you had something wrong with your stock airbox..
it's considerably louder...maybe the VVT version of the 1.8T is louder than the fixed valve timing...hmm.

No it's not just the turbo sucking...you can hear some resonances as well...
there is are some rather obvious ones at low engine speeds with throttle open...i.e. lugging it a little, sounds cool IMHO. I don't dislike any of the noises...but if you claim it's no louder under load you're either one of two things...deaf or lying.
