Soundtube deletion ?

[Ron Mexico]

I guess I'm going to have to try this out. Is there any noticeable difference?

Exhaust mods will make up for any lost cabin noise added from the tube.

I pieced together an axle breather mod but hard to turn down paying 12 bucks for this.

I drove my buddy's car last night, and he told me he had deleted the sound tube. To my surprise it was actually louder in the cabin. I didn't get a chance to look under the hood, but could it possibly be that he didn't plug the firewall?

Yeah I agree with everyone that it shouldn't cost $12, but I too said Fu*k it! I'm not going to the store! And just paid the 12 bux lol

Would cost me any money I saved in gas driving around to get all that stuff :-D

I'll probably add this mod once I get exhaust. That tube is hideous

 

[1FastFord]

agree, not worth the trouble or gas to go to 2 different stores.

How does this sound tube not allow entry of unmetered air? It looks like a big hole in tbe intake post maf with a hose stuck on it.

There are several foam inserts and a diaphragm along the tube that stop air and only allow sound. Muffled sound though.

Even more of a reason to ditch it.

It's like a subwoofer.

wuuub wuuub wuuuuuuuub

I'd pay $12 shipped to my door for a part that cost $1 even if it was only 3 miles away . . . first I gotta put pants on, then stop drinking my beer and then after asking 6 high school drop outs at the counter where to look for said part my buzz is gone.

Was about to head out to the autoparts store but I really can't argue with your logic. Ordered the kit

:idea:

That's essentially what I bought. But it was $3 from Lowe's

So is there really a difference when removing it? Also, does this have any effect on warranty?

Better engine and exhaust note, some say.

Warranty is not affected as long as you seal it and have no vacuum leak.

Ok, im sold! Especially if it helps make it any quieter at all in the cab.

It's pretty straight forward. Buying a kit because the car is too noisy for their sensitive ears is just funny to me. It's a hot rod for crying outloud. :lol:

I guess it's somewhat understandable though considering these 5.0's sound like boats in the water. I have yet to hear a 5.0 that has a really good exhaust note.

I just think the idea behind the sound tube was retarded. I want to hear the sound of the exhaust, not the sound of the vacuum from the intake being baffled though a tube.
