The tube/pipe that sends the engine noise to the cabin???

When I test drove the 11 GT the thing I noticed was there was more noise coming from the engine than coming from the exhaust. That was a bit weird to me.
I liked the sound of the stock exhaust but to me it needs to be about 10-15% louder.
And I like the sound of the 5.0 V8 too, but to me it needs to be about 10-15% quieter.

So to rectify this removing that tube or whatever they put in to "funnel" the engine noise into the cabin will solve part of that, and at least a catback exhaust would solve it completely.

Is there a way to remove that engine tube/pipe funnel thing-a-ma-jig?
Has anybody done it yet?

Yeah, take it off and cap the tube in the air inlet and plug the hole in the firewall.

Then remove the diaphram assembly from the strut tower.

Then box it all up and send it to me.

What is the purpose? Just to make interior sound louder?

The hole on the firewall, is that where the tube ends?

Will removing this cause any check engine lights?

Sure when my car arrives, I may very well do that.
Would it fit your car?

OK
When I get my car and its feasible to remove without a big issue or cost, I'll box it up for you and you just pay the shipping.

Pipes inlet noise into the cars interior. The new Mustang is so well insulated that you can hardly hear the motor inside the car with the windows up.

Yes, ends at the firewall hole.

No, has no engine management functionality so no check engine light if properly removed.
