Commenting from England 🇬🇧 I just wanted to praise your professional, almost studio quality, video. I am doing the opposite to my 2017, 1.5, simply hoping to add an induction roar! Each to his own, I suppose. Regards. Alan.
Thanks for the comments. I started this channel as a form of therapy to help me work through some things. What you are doing is quite common...a lot of people like the extra engine noise. Enjoy your MX-5. Only a few weeks until I put mine to bed for the winter.
Thanks. I deleted the sound tube from my ND3 today. I could not tell any difference in the cabin sound whatsoever. As far as I can see all I did was remove some ugly and unnecessary plumbing from under the bonnet. It was a very simple process. Word of advice I would give though, is do not drop anything in the engine bay while you are undertaking this delete as you will never be able to recover it and I'm certain it would create a forever rattle 😁.
@@thereddoorgarage8606 When I was deleting the sound tube, I thought I better not drop one of the bolts or the plug as I will never be able to recover from the engine bay. I also have a MGA (interesting comparison to drive back to back) and drop anything in the A's engine back it falls straight to the garage floor.
actually there is a big sound difference when you delete the soundtube. especially driving highways with 120km/h and listening to music, the soundtube outputs a lot of low frequency noise that ruins the already shitty bose system even more. the car sounds way better without the soundtube and it's calmer inside but also you hear the exhaust sound better. It's more of a noise delete mod.
I have an ND and i cant for the life of me work out why you're doing all this... I have a 190 exhaust which gives me more than enough aural satisfaction.
I just purchased 2022 model and was wondering if you can post a video on how to reset TPM? I have correct air pressure on all the wheels but TPN light stays on. Thank you.
Hope you are enjoying the car... most of the error codes need a pro scan tool to reset, might be worth it to see the dealer for a cheap diagnostic. Good luck.
Two reasons... to avoid flat spots forming (using foam to cushion the pad), but mostly because the other car drops slush and salt on the floor, and this stuff will creep along the floor and possibly get into the brakes... overkill, I know, but the blocks do help with the flat spots. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for clarifying... I have the base trim level, but with the manual clutch I got the sound tube, strut braces, and limited slip diff. Best driving car I have ever owned, and I traded in a vdub golf mark 5 for it...
@@georgegalea1937 What year is the auto ND, did you buy it new or used, & what country are you in? I guess it's possible that some later years or different markets may have added it for the automatic, but I know the first few years autos didn't come with it, & I haven't seen an example of an automatic with it from factory on newer years either.
Most people do... l am deaf in one ear and can't enjoy it as much. I just did not want some kind of failure with the (let's face it) cheap plastic part. I am glad to have the car and enjoy the driving experience...as I am sure you are too.
Yea,maybe, but Mazda themselves make and sell the kits to complete this mod, so even they believe that th tube delete has merit...but I hear what you are saying...

I tried a MX5 recently and wondered what this absurd enhanced noise was coming from, especially on the low frequencies, now I know... thx!
Thank you for watching!
Not only are your videos technically excellent, your voiceover is superb!

Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching.

Very informative - thanks. I’m hoping that tube isn’t fitted as standard on the new 1.5 I’m expecting this month.
I need to out to my garage and have a look at mine now😂
Hmm, may I ask why your car is elevated on blocks? Maintenance?
actually there is a big sound difference when you delete the soundtube.
especially driving highways with 120km/h and listening to music, the soundtube outputs a lot of low frequency noise that ruins the already shitty bose system even more.
the car sounds way better without the soundtube and it's calmer inside but also you hear the exhaust sound better. It's more of a noise delete mod.
I disagree about the Bose.
I got the 12 speaker full surround package they are bangers
@@travisromane-vr8db '12 speaker full surround package'
- details?
Great job! I enjoy all your videos, they are very professional. Thanks.
Thanks so much! I'm new to making videos, so I appreciate your comments. 🙂
I like the sound tube.
I just bought the kit, and removed the sound funnel. Yes, I can hear the radio. 😊
Thanks for watching... I just didn't want any extra plastic in the engine bay...can't hear worth a darn anyway.

Really enjoying your informative videos. Very professionally done. Feel like I’m watching and episode of how it’s made… Could it be ??
Glad you like them!
Looks to be that all ND2’s without the “handling package” eg base Sport and automatic transmission cars have the sound tube delete.
Early manual GT trims had the sound tube but not the handling package components.
can you please show me where to find this sound tube delete kit ?? a link maybe. Thanks so much. I can't find it in amazon or ebay.
I picked up mine at the Mazda dealership. I paid less for the kit ( tube cap , new intake hose, and nd firewall plug) for less than the cap alone
Thanks for the video. But quick question: Wouldn't that reduce the nice engine sound from in the cabin?
Is the removal make it louder or quieter?
Cuts the cabin noise, making it quieter.
Nice video, was there any actual air flow through that sound tube?
Nothing significant. Thanks for watching.
I did the opposite of this video and love it. lol
How?
What happened to the hood struts you installed before? Were they bad?
Hood struts are still working well. I'm very pleased with them.
I just purchased 2022 model and was wondering if you can post a video on how to reset TPM? I have correct air pressure on all the wheels but TPN light stays on. Thank you.

Why do you keep your car on blocks in the garage?

Thanks for watching.
To clarify, for all years, automatic and sport trim versions do not get a sound tube.

I have a auto and manual ND. They both have the sound tube
@@georgegalea1937 What year is the auto ND, did you buy it new or used, & what country are you in?

Did you chip the paint on the firewall while removing the sound tube from its hole? 🧐
Yeah, just a small scratch with my fingernail. That paint sure is soft. I sprayed some rust preventative on the area just in case.
Super, und woher bekomme ich die Teile?
I purchased the kit from my local Mazda dealership. Kit included new air tube and grommet.
What's the part number for the kit?
Got the kit at the dealership... hose kit number PEFA-13-220, and grommet number P51B-13-252. My dealership carries these parts as regular stock. ..
It’s don’t have time to worry about it
Most people don't...I just like working on this car. Thanks for watching.
That is such an ugly part. I wish that manufacturers would stop with this sillyness.
I'm just glad that they didn't try to do fake sound through the speakers.
Why? I like na iduction sound

Turn off the to LOUD music
Sorry... Some times I don't realize the volume levels until after they are published. Thanks for watching...
What a weird mod 😮
Yea,maybe, but Mazda themselves make and sell the kits to complete this mod, so even they believe that th tube delete has merit...but I hear what you are saying...
