Follow the sound tube to the firewall and gently but firmly pull out the tube. You'll need pliers to remove the original one.

Also, it will take some time to get used to the no sound one "blue".

where do the sound changers even go? and do they make a noticeable sound change?

davey90 · 11-20-2012, 03:50 AM

hey guys, wouldyou know how to remove a plastic tube from a rubber tube? dumb question I know but, I removed the first part of the sound changer, which needed a gentle pull. but for the other end of the sound changer it had clamp thingy, so I removed that and tried to pull the plastic tube out. but it wouldn't budge no matter how much strengthI put in. any tips? I want to put the red sound changer on so I can record the video for you guys. cheers

Make sure the clamp is well below where the changer ends in the tube. Then twist the tube clock wise and the sound changer counter clockwise. Removing it from the tube from factory is the hardest part.

You can use the clamp to twist the tube. It makes it a little easier.

davey90 · 11-20-2012, 05:09 AM

pretty sure I plugged it in properly. Lol here's my video.

errrm.... i got mine from Japan, think it would be.... Au$30-50ish depends on shipping.Also Same as what Nafe said, it varies depending on seller as well if buying online.

t0dd · 11-20-2012, 07:01 PM

If anyone has a blue one they don't want I'd be interested in picking it up.

benoh · 11-21-2012, 03:21 AM

I'll prob get a pack when im in Tokyo. I'll be in Shinjiku. Area 86 is in Shibuya, would that be the most accessible one to me?

Also, I'll prob be selling my green one if anyone is interested.

davey90 · 11-21-2012, 05:04 PM

honestly, i don't think i hear much difference between stock and the red one. Maybe it's because it's just me or i didn't plug it in right...or maybe the only difference is when you rev to 55000-7000rpms it's super loud like BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! xD

But just casual driving, no difference. unless blue tube which is really quite like a Camry.

Nafe · 11-22-2012, 07:25 AM

My blue one is already spoken for, but my green will probably be up for grabs
