Thank you
Im going to park it right next to the G4 and see how big of a difference it is tomorrow.

After 38 seconds the video clearly shows the airfilter box is the cause.
The actual box is fastened by two bolts, the snorkel by another. In total three 10mm bolts. Normally they are just hand tight, which is sufficient.
The snorkel part is just stuck into the box and may rattle. The connection between snorkel and box is one source, the seam in the snorkel assy just behind where it meets the box is another rattle source.
There are a few threads about how to silence it.

Hey Dirk, in your original post and thread title you say the engine idles ‘harder’ and ‘rougher.‘ I initially thought you were referring to vibration and harshness which I can’t easily detect by watching a video. Subsequent posters are focusing on noise and sound. Could you better clarify what you are experiencing?

It's louder than it used to be at idle. I meant sound.

Got it - thanks. Yeah definitely check for a loose and rattling air box. Look at the places where pieces fit together (was gonna say joints here hahaha) and either add tape to tighten up the connection, tape them together or turn up the radio until the problem goes away.
