I forgot about the intake. I did have a driver say their car was making a weird noise at highway speeds. The snorkel was pretty loose. Just zip tied it to wiring harness temporarily and it shut it up. I've resorted to just turning up the radio to drown out the noise mine makes.

It does have a pretty nice horn shape, I imagine it could sing a pretty tune when intake velocities reach a certain point. Would some noise damping material on the horn help, could it hurt performance?

If it's flapping around, stop it from moving. It's not overly complicated. There are a bunch of threads about wraping tape around the snorkel where it enters the airbox. The rubber mounts wear out too. Easiest just to zip tie it down from the start, less movement=less junk to wear.

I'll do that when I get home Fummy. See if it makes a difference. If your not too busy send me a pic of how you do it please, when you can.

Could just take the snorkel right off and try it that way first. Just give it a shake and see if it's loose first. Or turn up the radio lol. If the noise you hear changes with rpm then we're barking up the wrong tree. As mentioned on another thread, internet diagnosing isn't easy. Especially when it comes to noises.
I have a hard enough time in person at work. Had a driver me they lost the cap for the power steering. When I annoyingly told them the car they drive doesn't have power steering fluid I get a deer in the headlights look. Then they become even more stunned when I remind them this is the 5th time in 6 months I've had to tell them that.

They designed the tune around it–change or remove it and it may not run right. It also gets fresher air from the front, though maybe not much...

Good points on the snorkel, Nobu - and I agree with you. However, it might be fun to experiment a little.
I would expect more noise problems from the resonator cavity, particularly if it was removed. Which makes me wonder if that resonator box was damaged in any way. I can't tell from here, and am unable to do a visual inspection from here either. If only there were someone willing to look at this, maybe even post some pictures...
