No no, just taking one of the bits of foam out. Thought I'd see what the fuss was all about.

try removing the other end too, I only did the small foam bit(closer to the cabin) and at higher revs(I'd say above 4k) it does sound more throaty..

I removed both bits and loved the sound......until it got a bit boring and intrusive. So i put one bit back and now i find that the perfect compromise.

yup that's exactly what I've heard from other members who did it so I went along and only removed one side! might try both for fun ;) easy enough to re-install.
