Panel filter will do nothing for noise mate... unless you modify the airbox with your own cold air feed etc.

a green panel filter will give more induction noise a a exhaust isnt realy a last resort if a panel wont ther both different things induction noise and exhaust noise, if you just after noise get a cheapy universal bolt on kone filter a panel will cost about 40 aposed to about 15 quid for universal lol

Trust me, it makes no difference to noise what so ever. The only advantage you have is the filter being long life and washable.

Fitting a panel filter makes no difference what so ever to the noise of the car. However if you were to drill holes in the bottom of the airbox (ideally linked to cool air feeds) you would get a better sound. Probably wont make any difference to performance though to be fair.
