Either tune it with a flash that provides a cold start delete or put your foot on the throttle after you start the car inorder to raise the rpm's a little. Hold it there for 15 -30 seconds. A valve controller would also help.

if you want to stay stock best thing you can do is press on throttle lightly and hold rpm at around 1200-1400 rpm for 30 seconds or so before you take off

You can turn off cold starts through bootmod3 (This flash costs 600$ but has a lot more benefits). It has saved me from turning on 3 of my neighbours car alarms while starting her up. Currently a normal startup with a warm engine is slightly louder than a cold start

Yeah either the light throttle application technique or get a flash tune to remove the cold start.
I remember a few years back there was talk about creating a free flashing solution for these cars but I do not know how far that has gotten, nor its ability to flash these cars without an ECU unlock.
