Took out the sound tube and hit the twisties with the kids today. So I had to take it easy, but still had a lot of fun. I like not having the sound tube in, no real sound change in the cabin except there is no whistle at WOT and it cleans up the engine bay nicely.

I asked a question pertaining to the same thing. What is the advantages and disadvantages of leaving and taking out the sound tube?

No performance advantage or disadvantage, and I just did not like the look of it under the hood. The engine bay looks much nicer without it.

Silly question. I read on another website that removing this was worth 5lbs. Needless to say I am a little skeptical. Anyone weigh this setup to see???
