I agree with the opinion that this is a ghetto-mod. I am in the camp that says that what makes it sound louder or cooler does not always add to real performance which should be the priority. On my 2017 BRZ I very quickly tired of the noise piped into the the car, so I first put the power outlet cap on the hose inside the car. Then I removed the 'Toyobaru Kazoo' completely and plugged the inlet. Something was not quite right after that. I put the sound creator back on the car and plugged the hose the way it was the first time. My take on this is that along with the other resonators, the tube that runs from the intake to the sound creator diaphragm must have been worked into the equation. If I kept the 2017, I most certainly would have not tried to modify the existing intake, but I would go with one of the aftermarket options. Makes for a cleaner mod anyway. On my 2022 BRZ, two days after I got it home, I unplugged the stupid electronic sound creator. Funny thing: the car did not slow down one bit.
