I have always liked how this mod changed the noise in the cabin, but sometimes wanted for a little more. Got bored this afternoon, bollox weather, went out and removed the smaller piece of foam at the engine end too... Interestingly it is made of much denser foam than the cabin one, so I took the cabin end foam with me for a wee test.
Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone therefore no sound or video, sorry... With both bits removed it's pleasingly louder under normal to moderate acceleration, however when floored... at 5,000 RPM it starts to get a little much, at 6,000 it's offensive, and on the red line it actually hurt my ears. Way too much, not for me. I jumped out and put the cabin side back in and it was much better, bit louder than before but never hit the offensive threshold. I might try cutting it down by a third and see if that perfects it :evil:
On a side note, inspired by Adamski's comments on his recent run... it is very very wet today so I played with the DTC a little. I need to do more testing, but I was impressed
