Sound tube insert into car

Hey guys!

Installed the TRD air box today and while removing the sound generator, I managed to pull out the insert that actually goes into the car

Here's a picture:


My question is, does anyone know where and how i can put it back? I can't (for the life of me) find the actual insert.

NB: I'm driving a RHD so if you mention passengers side I will take it as the drivers side

Try pushing the sound tube back down and let it dangle freely, the hole should be near there, just before the steering column (I drive a RHD as well).
I found it helps to peel back the mat on the driver side to see the angle you need to insert it at through the hole.

Hope that helps, good luck mate!

On an LHD car the hole the sound tube plugs into is directly under the battery tray on the (facing the car from under the hood) left side (LHD passenger side/RHD driver side) of the engine bay. Since you're an RHD car I'm not sure where the hole is - it could be underneath your battery on the opposite side of the car or on the firewall about a foot inboard of the edge of the engine bay on what would be your driver's side.
