Thanks for the comments so far!

not sure if it helps but sometime ago I replaced the OEM air filter with a K&N (oiled) air filter, difference in sound: almost zero, but it set me back by $225 for a new MAF
Then I tried de-snorkeling and this has a much bigger effect
I am also a sound junkie, here's a list of my "sound mods" on a scale of 1 (least effect to 5 most effect)
GHL exhaust: 5 (I took it off after 1 year as I couldn't stand the drone anymore) and went with the next line item:
"gutted" exhaust: 4 (open the exhaust, take the baffling out, close it)
de-snorkeled: 3
Secondary cat bypass pipes: 3
K&N air filter: 1
oh, yes I forgot one:
driving with open pipes: 100 (on a scale from 1 to 5)
