I’m an aircraft mechanic and brought home some RTV sealant that I’m going to seal that plug with on my “17 BRZ. Great vid dude. Don’t know why the engineering dept let this go. LOL
Just an FYI I would keep an eye on that rubber plug you used. Plumbing supplies usually don't hold well to under hood temps. It will break down and suck small bits of rubber into your engine.
I’ve considered this too but from the looks of it it’s practically made out similar material and it’s not in a “high heat” area as in metallic components such as the intake manifold.
I’m assuming you’re talking about not plugging the hole on the inlet tube. If you are, then you can run the risk of something flying inside the inlet tube and dust getting into your engine.
Your car will also have trouble running since you technically have a vacuum leak. I took it out while changing to equal length headers and forgot to put it back, the car started but sputtered out since alot of the air is pulled out through the hole. Put it back on and had no problems. My guess is that since alot of air is being pushed out there is not enough air going into the motor to keep the air/fuel mix from becoming to rich, but that was my experience with it.

thanks for showing the parts details,,
I put a harmonica in my sound generator for extra sound
This was one of the only videos that actually tells you what size you need for the cap, which is kind of sad, good on your part though.
Thanks for the advice, man. Stopping by the hardware store tomorrow!

Just to double check and I saw this correct ? .. the sound that I hear in my BRZ isn't from the speaker but from the engine ?
The engine sound is coming from the sound generator tube into the cabin.
Nice video, it wasnt what i was looking for but helped me find it. Can you do a video driving it with the delete?
Exactly what i was looking for ! THX from France Dude
Cool info! I gatta laugh though, your helpful tip for pushing the plug in is........ push the plug in 🤔
B. D. Lol yup just push the plug into the hole 😂
Ty
👍🏻👍🏻 please question: is the sound tube totally closed?
I mean did it allow some air to flow through it? Or it closed and just for sound ?
It is totally closed where I insert the plug by the passenger foot well and totally closed by the rubber cap on the inlet tube.
Edsgar Jimenez 👍🏻
What happens if you don’t plug it?
