So the previous owner of my FR-S blocked the hose with a clamp and a rubber fitting that goes out of the air box on my intake. Not sure it that makes sense. But my question is, is this what my car sounds way louder than other FR-S? I don’t mind the sound because it sounds really deep but wondering if other are doing this? Should I buy a cold air intake and use that or keep it the way it is now? Just curious if others have done this or is it something I should change? I can post a pic if my question is not clear. Thanks in advance
