So I had some time today. Decided to put the additional air source concept into action. This hose runs from the foglight to the inside of the airbox. Allowing for ram air at speed. It still keeps the original air source as well. It should help keep the IAT close to ambient under throttle.

A friend of mine says that the sound generator is connected to an audio speaker in the firewall, and that this speaker should be disabled?

Is this true, or gibberish?

Gibberish! This ain't BMW and Mustang. Our sound is a real sound coming from the engine, similar to when u swap the intake to open intake style, like the K&N for 3GS and Camry.

I prefer sound generators like our GS and LFA instead of sound playing through the speakers. To me that's a insult. It's like putting speakers to make a Tesla sound like a V8 Corvette.. Yeaaa.. NOPE! It doesn't work that way.
