Quite induction
Ant b:
Is there such thing as a quite induction kit for the gtis,
My ram air oversize is stupid loud I don’t mind the dump when you let of but it’s constantly sucking on acceleration.
Think is I like the look and I don’t really wanna go back to a cover as one I haven’t got one and two I’ve just spend money tarting the engine up.
My old 1.8t had a cone on and had a nice dump when you release but not all the time

I've tried the VWR and Revo intakes. Both noisy. I'm not a big fan of all the noise either. I am working on some ideas. Either boxing in the Revo cone with some automotive grade acoustic foam (water, fuel, oil and fire resistant obviously) or throwing the cone in the bin and fitting a BMC enclosed can on the end. I've used them in the past to good effect and they are quiet.
The other problem is the pipes are made of very thin wall ally tube which resonates badly. If the pipes were made of a thick plastic material, it would be a lot quieter.
Tazocin:
Ive got a forge twintake and that's reputed to be quiet with its 2 enclosed canisters but you still get some flutter on letting off boost and that raspy sucking sound when you open the throttle up (once I get over 3k rpm the powervalve kicks in and I don't hear the intake at all :D). As Pudding mentioned I think all of them with the metal piping will transmit sound even with enclosed ends, especially as its right up against the firewall so doesn't have far to travel. Certainly my twintake is quieter than the open cone ones but you can still hear it.
If you're ever near manchester you're welcome to come have a listen.

I’m thinking about fitting a bmc type enclosed on above the mannifold,I no it not the best as heat rises but it will still have the ram air heat shield plus it’s inclosed so should be ok,I could put it right on the end but I think it will still be loud.
Only thing is as mines 90mm atm I need some 70mm silicone joiners and if I do go above mannifold I would fit the rest of the ram air piping as a cold air feed
