Default My car is APR chipped if that matters...

I am really looking for the sound only, but at the same time I do not want to drop existing HP or torque. If it stayed the same, and gave me the sound I am looking for I will be happy.

Default Problem with your request......>>>

You could fabricate a cover, and insulate to keep the heat away, but you lose the noise. Mine is actually pretty close to stock sounding now...See pics for Ideas....

Default Anything you can do to reduce intake charge temps will help....>>

I honestly think the intake hot air injestion from cone filters is chump change compared to how much heat the intake air gains going through the turbo. A FMIC will get you more results but at a considerable expense. By controlling the temps everywhere you can (air box and intercooler) you make things incrementally better....
