The annoying thing is the intake resonator makes the cabin pretty loud at high rpms. It's discouraging me from going to the high revs. I gotta plug that up, soon!
I found I could plug the sound tube where it enters the passenger side firewall, but the best fix was installing the TRD CAI. That removes the sound tube, increases the air filter area and CAI volume and then you can hear the "real" engine sounds. Small increases in HP & Torque, plus more linear throttle.
