Title: At the risk of sounding an idiot...
Post by: matt a on November 25, 2008, 10:35:17 pm: Why doesn't my car have this pipe, and what is it? (obviously some kind of air feed)

So, the the noise pipe being fitted increases cabin noise? Could this be a worthwhile mod for those who like hearing more of the engine inside the cabin...?
