Nice to see you driving DSC-free... took it up to about 115MPH too.

sounding sweet

ROCKYJET · 01-10-2008, 04:11 PM

That sounds awesome!

Did you take both foam pieces out or just the one?

ROAD EAGLE · 01-10-2008, 04:44 PM

Great vid!!

How do you take off the foam? I will like to do that in mine. Is it hard?
Thanks!

Chuck I · 01-10-2008, 08:11 PM

That sounds great. I have a basic question though... When the sound generator is installed, my understanding is that it vents to the driver's area. If that's correct, does any of the pollution come in from the engine? Is there any engine heat or smell? Thanks!!

It branches off from the intake so there is no pollution from the engine. I haven't noticed any smell or a burst of fresh air since removing the foam pieces. It's designed to only transmit noise to the cabin not stench.

Thanks. I took out the large piece of foam for that video.

Since that video I've made it a bit quieter again, by putting back about 2/5 of the big piece of foam.

It's located inside the sound generator, which branches off the intake and plugs into the firewall - there's a guide... I'll try to find it.

Like BimmerZealot said, it branches off the intake, so if anything there should be some suction from the air generator. And it's only the outside air that passes through the intake so there's no pollution from the engine's exhaust.

This is the most recent video I made - with a very cheap videocamera which has really bad sound quality due to it being waterproof
