You're right, I've done it once and removed it twice, I'm wrong.

You're right, that is why this exists...

From the BRZ side : the crickets (probably gonna get a DW fuel pump and replace it myself or try to get my hands on the redesigned factory one and also do it myself as dealers dont know what on earth their doung when their working on cars) and then theres the in cabin sound generator witch i deleted by buying a 1 1/2" pvc block off and covering the intake hole until i get my AEM intake, the hole in the firewall i covered it by putting that sticky black stuff in the gasket that was already there (the automotive stuff you use when passiing wires through the firewall) oh and i forgot the torque dip at 3500 witch i can say got completly taken care of with my UNICHIP on a octane 93 map with catback and launch control at 4500rpm
