whats fake about it? Its a plastic diaphragm attached to the air intake that directs intake noise directly to the firewall so it’s louder. It’s literally just directing the sound of the air intake to you. It has no electrical components.


Fake noise is when they pump artificial sound through the speakers.

You just answered your own question. Read your post again(and over and over again) until you find the answer to it.

Don’t need to. And once again, redirecting REAL intake noise towards the driver is not “fake” noise. If you’d like a dictionary i can send you one and you can look up the word Fake.

That’s like saying an aftermarket exhaust is “fake noise” LOL...Come on man...
