If I remember correctly, each "tube" is just the same tube with slightly different material in it. You can do it yourself by pulling the soft stuff out of the stock tube with some tweezers.

$60 to change the noise of the horrible kazoo? Man I am in the wrong business. delete it and put the money into something that makes sense.

My "thoughts" exactly.

Agreed.

I put the red tube in last year, let's just say I forgot I even installed it until this post reminded me

Agree. I never heard of a sound changer. Just curious thoughts/experiences. Looking for something cheap/easy to do. If this translated into great sound in the cabin, I'd consider it. I did see the YT video where a guy removed foam material from the original part, but he didn't do a before/after sound comparison.

I think my first upgrade will be either Toyota/GT86 emblems or TRD shifter.

with the money saved you can get a TRD door stabilizer

It's only good if u keep the stock exhaust. It was kind cool till I started trying different exhaust. Now I just plug it up lol.

Vincenttam · 03-15-2015, 02:40 AM

Trying to figure out how to delete it without getting a cai. Same with @chiefshayan I completely forgot i had a sound tube, you kind of do when you get a louder exhaust.

Loads of ways on some threads on here someplace. I just pushed the plug from the glove box receptacle into it and called it project done. You will be amazed at how much better even a louder exhaust will sound without that buzz!

My theory is that , whatever material is inside the sound tube will eventually perish/disintegrate and the sound will become louder.

Am I the only one who subconciously reads "TRD" as "turd"?

I had a TRD Tacoma PreRunner. I always hated those three letters. T-R-D. Turd. There I said it.

In any case, I can only assume the TRD sound changer makes a name appropriate noise.

You can take tweezers and remove the stuff inside for more sound or use a sponge to kill sound down. = done
