Is there a way to increase the sound from the 2015 re-designed sound tube? This is not an exhaust modification. I am strictly asking about the sound tube. There is a youtube video on how to do this for models prior to 2015 (and that video has recently had its title updated to include 2015) - but the re-designed sound tube is a bit different.

There's these clamps on the re-designed sound tube that cannot be easily removed (if at all) , not to mention its in a really inconvenient place...

Start by removing the sound tube. Inside of the hose that hooks to the firewall there is a foam plug that you can remove. It is on the left in the attached picture.
Now take a screwdriver or 2 and slowly pry apart the clips that hold the cone shaped piece in the tube together. Once it is apart, pull the rubber diaphragm out and there will be another piece of foam that you remove in that tube. You can see that piece of foam on the right. Be sure to put the diaphragm back in and snap the cone piece back together. It should only take a couple of minutes to pop out the foam pieces.

I read the purpose of the tube is to attenuate sound from the exhaust (decreasing) the exhaust note inside the cabin. If that's the case, removing the tube would increase the sound. The other end of the tube is hooked to the air intake so it's not pushing any sound into the car, it's pulling air into the engine.
None of this sounds like a way to increase the exhaust sound in the cabin.

Interesting, Wonder what effect it has on performance, minuscule is my guess but still, everyone tries to increase airflow.

Anyone know what size NUT is on the firewall side? - so that I can go down in there with the right size the 1st time !? :)

If it's anything like the tube in my 11 GT, as far as removing that foam disc, it will be annoyingly loud in the cabin- at least mine was.
