bud you could just cut a piece of foam from an old car washing sponge or something along those lines.. I'm guessing most folk would want to keep them for selling on the car and such

Maybe use a piece of foam pipe lagging,
Two bob and a blackies egg from a diy shop
Ha ha, off topic here for me but that's a Yorkshire lad right there!!
I say this all the time and people look at me gone out. Possibly because I say 'ten bob and a blackie's egg'.
Where the chuff does that saying come from as I've been saying it man and boy!

I have just done this tonight, it takes seconds. There were 3 bits of foam in mine. All out just now. I was skeptical as too the noise but the ROAR over 4000rpm is EPIC. 
It should be mandatory to try this as it takes seconds to do, costs nothing and is reversible if required.

This is a great write up.
Small problem I have is the rubber sleeve at the cockpit end of the pipe has slipped back. The pipe itself seems firmly in!!
Would this be ok? Had difficulty getting the cabin end in but managed it with the sleeve seemingly having slipped back abit.

Thanks Smartbear
Got the rubber collar back in place. I have the pipe back in at the cabin end. The rubber collar is sitting flush but the pipe didn’t really click into place. Is this normal?

Just tried this now. Large foam out sounded great but was too much at motorway speeds. Put the large one back in and am now going to give the small one out a try.
It’s extremely easy to do this though and if I didn’t have sensitive ears I’d probably have left the big one out, but it actually felt a bit uncomfortable on my ears.

I took the piece out of the bulkhead end as it was easy to pull out with the trim lowered under the glovebox. I find it only makes a noise when you accelerate. Very similar to an old K&N air filter on a carburettor. Cruising on a motorway with no real throttle pushing I found it very quiet.BigDaddy said:
To be fair I wasn’t cruising, I was flooring it on a dual carriageway near me to try it out accelerating up to 70-80mph and it was pretty damned loud. I’m sure cruising along at 70 it would probably have been fine. Not tried it with just then smaller part out yet as I’ve messing about trying to bleed the coolant to get the heater to work properly on the passenger side.
