Love your channel my friend. I’m going to do this for the same reasons you did. Simplification, cleaner decluttered engine bay and flow efficiency. The winding noise is beautiful but I don’t need it! 😆 Keeping it clean and simple. Thank you again mate!
Came to your videos to see the install on the pipe, then noticed you had the AEM intake, which I am also thinking about getting. How do you like it? Any issues at all? And thanks for making the videos!
Hi thanks for watching, glad it was useful. As for the AEM intake its expensive but does a great job and love how it turns the scoop into something functional. Only issues people see is fitting the heat shield above the turbo that comes with the aem, this traps a lot of heat and can lead to melting the front corner of the rocker cover, note this also can happen without the heatshield with the car in stock form, this just seems to speed up the process so many people dont fit the AEM heatshield and instead fit a proper turbo jacket.
@@tweedbean Thanks for getting back so quick. Forge turbo blanket already fitted! I don't know why, it just seems like the AEM and the DDM Works "Ram Air" intakes would act as a funnel and dump water into the airbox on a rainy day. Awesome to hear you have no issues.
If you live in a particularly wet climate you can also purchase from AEM a waterproof cover for the filter which is also breathable, something like this maybe, www.aemintakes.com/1-4007-air-filter-wrap
So at 5:55 you pull the wretched noise maker unit. Would the car be drivable at that point? (until I had time to install the pipe) Or would it just be sucking up air driving like 💩 and throwing codes? I just did some nosing around in there and the hanging loop broke, so it was saggy plus the firewall piece was loose because of a broken PLASTIC clip. Thanks mate. This is a solid video as always!
@@tweedbean The answer is no. I capped it off and the car runs great. My silicone pipe is on the way. Love the real car sounds, no more kazoo. Thanks for the step by steps. I'm getting much more confident working under the hood.

You could but why leave pipes in there that you don’t require any more. All they are at that point is additional clutter in the engine bay and extra weight(yes I know it’s not significant)
Big ape hands.... funny. I dont have big hands, but these little cars don't leave much room for any hands to begin with. The more empty volume you remove from the intake, the more stable air pressure (or negative pressure) will be. I think more air space would be more area to cause delay with throttle response and air draw due to more surface area drawn in by vacuum. Just my guess. :)
@@CathodeRayNipplez I'm with you. If it has notable positive impact, I'm game. If it does nothing but remove sound from cabin..... it will continue sending sound to the cabin. :)
Agreed I haven’t seen anyone block this, I didn’t have an issue of any smells etc coming in. There isn’t anything off the shelf, you would have to make something yourself to block it if required

Sorry I cant remember off the top of my head, I'm sure my hose came with them. If you measure the hose when it arrives, and go a little bigger. I dont own the car anymore so cant go and measure it for you.
Tyler Goelz there isn’t an off the shelf solution, maybe cut a piece of plastic to the right shape and use adhesive to stick over the hole left into the cabin. Or a tiny bit of expanding foam. Not too much as you don’t want to make a mess inside/outside the cabin

Yet again another epic vid.ive used your clips on nearly every bit I've done on mine.keep it up mate
Thanks for watching and the great feedback.

hose without soundgenerator from BMW as oem hoes aviable too, just checked from R56 LCI

just came across your channel great stuff any website you recommend buying parts from?
Thanks I use Orranje performance a lot
5 Minutes EASY FIX and cost $0.00 ----- No need to do all that, just plug the " Splitter Hole " up and you are all set !!!
Both valid options, some people prefer DIY, some people like an off the shelf solution, plus who doesn’t like new silicone hoses ;)
@@tweedbean - Yea, you are right !!! I leave everything alone, but I live in a 9+ bedroom house !!! LMFAO
What do you use to plug the hole?

Excuse my ignorance but why not simply block/plug the 'Noise pipe' and leave it in place?
You could but why leave pipes in there that you don’t require any more. All they are at that point is additional clutter in the engine bay and extra weight(yes I know it’s not significant)
@@tweedbean Can it be blocked at the cabin outlet end? I simply cannot be assed faffing around in the engine bay with my big ape hands..

Can you block the hole the noise tube went in so no engine fumes are coming in?
Yes you can apparently use the cigarette lighter cap for the hole or any random rubber bung if you feel so way inclined
@@tweedbean how would a rubber band or lighter cap work, its a rectangle hole. Where the red tape is on the body that the noise hose clips in.
I’m must be thing BRZ/gt86 then
@@tweedbean this is a mini cooper. You can see it around the 5:20 mark in your video
Agreed I haven’t seen anyone block this, I didn’t have an issue of any smells etc coming in. There isn’t anything off the shelf, you would have to make something yourself to block it if required
Is this similar for the N18 ? I assume it is after I took a look at my engine bay
Sorry I’ve never worked on an n18 so wouldn’t want to give you a wrong answer
The n18 doesnt have the noise maker
@@eduardopadilla8532 yes it does
Coop video
So I'm thinking to delete mine
But I want to know what's the diffrent ?
COOL

Did u cover the hole left by the removal of the noise injector at the firewall? Or is it not a true hole thru the firewall in to the cab?
Currently there isnt an off the shelf solution for blocking the hole into the cab
Anything changed on this in the past 2 years? I can sometimes smell engine smells in the cabin which I think comes through this@@tweedbean
@@bhavs857 not seen anything but I bet it wouldnt be hard to tape up or throw together something to block it
@@tweedbean thanks... I'm not good with ideas for this so wanted to know if anyone's actually made something 😂
Where did you buy the hose?
eBay
Did it make much less noise?
Nothing noticeable noise wise
@@tweedbean Hi, so what is the main purpose for this modification, please?

Your video title pic says "is it worth it?" Well, is it? :)
For me yes, I like a bit of colour on the engine bay, you may not feel a noticeable difference but it all adds up.
@@tweedbean and how about the actual noise? Did you notice any difference inside the car?
Honestly there was some difference, was it noticeable, probably not
What does this pipe do?
Thanks for watching it deletes the noise maker which is a pipe that basically pumps engine sound into the cabin.
@@tweedbean so is there any benefits of not having sound pumped into the cabin?
Hi what size hose clips did you need ?
Sorry I cant remember off the top of my head, I'm sure my hose came with them. If you measure the hose when it arrives, and go a little bigger. I dont own the car anymore so cant go and measure it for you.
Where did u get the pipe from?
Thanks for watching they are listed on eBay 👍🏼

Great!!! Thank you so much!!
does it trigger any code?
Not at all
Why would you install it and not let us hear how it sounds?
The whole point is it removes the sound being pumped into the cabin, it removes sound not adds it
@@tweedbean ahh! I see. Thank you.
@@tweedbeanhow much sound does it remove is it noticeable? As I want the yellow hose
Did you just leave the port into the cabin open or plug it up somehow?
I left it open, it may be a good idea to block it up, I didnt think of that at the time, good point
@@tweedbean what do you think would block it well?
Tyler Goelz there isn’t an off the shelf solution, maybe cut a piece of plastic to the right shape and use adhesive to stick over the hole left into the cabin. Or a tiny bit of expanding foam. Not too much as you don’t want to make a mess inside/outside the cabin
@@tweedbean I figured.. I'll work on a custom solution. If you end up doing it yourself would love to see the DIY video 😁
i cant find one for my mini one d r56 2013
Completely different engine. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_DLD_engine#DLD-416 so very much doubt this would fit
Why?
The stock pipe is restrictive and also stops you losing any of that flow purely for pumping noise into the cabin.
Waste of time. You don't even inform us of it's worth it. No sound clips no info.
