Sound Tube For More Induction Noise Inside The Cabin

Hi! I just wanted to share some install tips and answer some questions I got from others about the sound tube mod. This is for those who are interested in improving the induction noise without the carbon plenum price tag. Hope you guys find it helpful.

Yep, leads to a lot of drone in the GT4 cabin and accentuates the blah exhaust note produced by the non X stock 718 exhaust. Experienced it first hand.

But as a guy who's following both forums lately, I found the juxtaposition funny. Porch guys removing the OEM installed part, BMW guys adding the same part aftermarket. Humor would prob hit better if same post made on rennlist since a lot of GT4 guys are former M3 guys.

Good job OP, that actually sounds really good. Dare I say better than some of the Carbon Plenums I've heard.

Good suggestion but I did try that. Made a big difference on my turbocharged 335i, but not much increase for the M3.
