As long as the whole noise package isn't bothering when driving for long distances and goes fast. Is this just me or is this just boil down to a image thing?
Ditto.

Well I don't have a stereo, so my music is what my car makes. It is a beautifull song.

I don't think the sound is ALL that important but it is a nice bonus. If I had a choice between the silent power of my friend's turbo II and my loud semi-weak by comparison 12A, I chose the silent power.

Actually, you could adapt a hardpipe from an integra or some other standard rice. I've heard of a couple people doing this and it makes it roar pretty well. There is some fabrication involved. The main thing that's cutting down on your intake noise is the snorkel tract. Once the obstructions of the intake tract are gone, it has no choice but to be noisy. Or just get a Weber.
