that.... u won't get great sound from vauxhalls <1.6 with an induction kit, they're so restrictive.... 
 
keep it and get ureself an exhaust system if u want sound... 
 
real loud then de-cat it 
 
loud then take centre silencer out 
 
minimal then just have a backbox with cat and centre silencer

The induction kit doesn't make any change to the volume of the induction note, removing the airbox does that.  If the engine's quieter than a gnat's fart then you won't get any more noise with an induction kit. 
 
Different kits can alter the sound, metal bases typically give a nicer sound than rubber base filters.
