Intake boot replacement 3.0i

Hey guys. Been having a little whistling coming from the intake boot and going to replace it.

My question after doing some reading a while back, will an intake boot from an e46 330i fit on the m54 e53?
The reason I ask is because I'd like a little more throaty roar from the engine when I put my foot down.

The e46 intake boot has no resonator box whereas the e39 and e53 intake boots have one (to reduce engine noise).

Has anyone done this?

Also the e53 intake boot is about £30 more expensive and I don't intend to hack it it bits when I can just bolt one straight on! Lol.
