I removed my growl tube about a week ago. At idle and lower rpm's the difference is hardly noticeable but when you get north of 3,5K rpm's the difference becomes very noticeable. To me it's well worth removing that tube.

When Toyota asked me to complete a survey I commented that the money they spent on the growl tube could probably have paid for a nice center console cover/arm rest.
