Hi zedders, I've known about the sound generator snorkel & the pieces of foam within since owning the car but have never been fussed about removing them as I thought it sounded nice as it was.
Well idle hands etc I removed the foam bits earlier today & drove the car into work, never really noticed much difference and was thinking what's all the fuss about?
Until driving home tonight :D hardly any traffic around (unlike my drive going in)& I had the chance to give it some proper mumbo :driving:
Wow, sounds fantastic as the revs soar :thumbsup: it's even better as the extra sound is subdued whilst driving normally.
The foam can stay in smartbears garage for the foreseeable future :P
Regards
 
Did you remove both or just the bulkhead foam?

Both is a bit lairy above about 5k rpm. Just a loud honking noise.
 
I've removed both on mine. Sounds like it should.

Quiet on normal cruising then she wails when hammering it.

Matches the exhaust setup for a balanced aural sensation
 
When I went to remove one of my foam pieces I found it was already missing!

So I removed the other aswell! Sounds great! :thumbsup:
 
Plus your car will be faster,
removing the foam will add lightness.
Win win situation :thumbsup: :roll:

I'm guessing just removed one bit.

i removed both pieces for the full monty effect, as an added bonus its sucked all the wax from my ears as well! :rofl:
 
Just done mine 20 mins ago. Removed the white foam nearest to the bulkhead, noticed that this one is a lot denser that the grey foam on the airbox side. It definitely makes more of an induction sound when the accelerator is pressed down.
 
Remove both and fit a Simota carbon induction kit. Now that sounds great!!
I still miss my straight through exhaust though even with the above
 
Thought it was just too loud and disturbing when removed, I put back the foam after a few drives... But I feel like trying again after reading this :oops:
