3.0si Sound Generator? What is it?
I keep seeing stuff about removing foam from the sound generator, what is the sound generator? I guess you make your car pretty loud by removing this foam?
Sorry for the ignorance. Thanks. |

Removing the foam increases the amount of sound you hear in the cabin I believe only the non M models have it.

How much does removing the foam increase the noise to those outside the car? |

The noise is the induction sound from the filter box iirc http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...=13&fg=20&hl=1

For some reason this reminds me of the bit from Maxwell Smart where Stakker is going "vroom vroom" while pretending to ride a motorcycle and Zigfried says " Stakker, zees ees KAOS, we don't vroom vroom here".
