Engine sound enhancement

[gojagz]

I removed mine a few days ago. It literally takes 30 sec. I noticed a little difference but I havent had the buzzing issue a few have complained about.

Not sure how this would improve boost? My other concern here is if that tube is connected to the intake and you pull the foam out is there a risk of that tube sucking in some random crap from the inside the cabin into the engine??? Forgive my ignorance I haven't even looked at the tube, this is just my initial thoughts after looking at the video.

I want to reduce the nose a little but not eliminate it so I will try changing the foam plug.

highly unlikely as its just for noise any vacuum pressure wont be enough to suck anything in. If it were that strong of a vacuum i doubt they would have used a hollow foam filter-thingy

what was the outcome?

I'll let you know, only did it this morning and haven't driven the car yet.

Where exactly is this foam? For the life of me I can't seem to find it even though it takes less than 30 seconds to do this.

 

[Sekred]

Pull this hose off bud at the front of engine rhs and you should see it poked up the hose.

this looks fun, I think I will do it, I dub thee the "Foam Thingy Delete Mod"

what was the outcome?

That solid high density foam plug cut out all the noise, since then I have punched a hole in it. This reduced the sound but didn't eliminate it.

this does nothing to improve boost.
this modification is 100% about a difference in sound, there is zero performance gain. this feature of the car is literally about sound and that's it. I don't think it's sucking in any unmetered air or anything, but just makes it possible for sound to come in by leaving a passage way for some of the sound of the intake to get into the cabin.

Finally found it thanks to Sekred. When the OP mentioned sound tube, I did not know he meant the sound symposer. Just pull sound symposer tube out, remove foam from tube and plug tube back in. My car definitely sounds ricer now... But it is shameful that I like it? LOL

I just pulled the foam plug. I didn't hear any buzzing, but didn't notice a difference in sound either.

I definitely notice amplified noise. However, past 5k rpm it does sound like buzzing... Doesn't bother me that much since most of my driving is city driving under 4k.
