Car too quiet

I currently have a Injen CAI, it is nice and all.. BUT ONLY WHEN YOU REV IT. I was wondering if anyone had a custom resonator apart from the stock one that can change the cars tone without getting a muffler or exhaust system. As I want the car to be a bit louder but not constant like a muffler or exhaust.. I know removing the resonator and replacing it with a straight pipe is possible, but for the TSX I believe it would be a bit raspy... thanks in advance for any info

^nothing short of FI will get you noise.

you said it yourself...." i dont want to do exhaust mods"
so basically, you ruled out everything.

Why would you want it louder? It's not a race car. When I had my old car with a cat back, my parents could hear me coming home from a couple miles away.
