Yeah for sure bro I'll let you guys know! Also let me know if you guys ever find any other remedies for this lol

Sound tube no, resonator yes. Mishimoto found this when testing their inlet tube. Though I guess no one has tested stock inlet with and without sound tube.

Yeah I just realized today that theres no way for me to put the stock sound tube back in because i have a mishimoto inlet hose LOL. I guess thats a no go then? But hey do you guys happen to know where i can buy the cap that goes at the bottom of the passenger side under the glove depart where the sound tube connects? Its a tiny little whole but you cap it and then take off the sound tube from your engine bay.

Open your glove box and there should be a 12V outlet somewhere back there. Take the cap from there and shove it into the firewall hole. Should be a perfect fit.

The sound tube has a diaphragm in it, so there's no air going through. It's just there to transmit sound. Removing the tube won't really impact performance.

Wow I didn't know that LOL! Thanks for the advice I just uninstalled the sound tube and my engine bay looks a lot better!
