It can be blocked with the power outlet cap (from the glovebox), people also used a plug purchased at a home improvemnt store.
Thanks for taking the time to try and help out. Yeah, I found out about that tube and plugged it during the second week of ownership and it's been plugged ever since. I used the plug from the glovebox electrical socket, then routed my GPS power cord into the glove box. The plug made a little bit of difference to the engine sound and I guess every little bit helps, eh?

Thanks again..
