2014 Subaru BRZ Stock Test Drive & Sound Tube Trick

Many performance cars these days are making a habit of piping extra sound into the cabin, and the Subaru BRZ is no exception. In this case, there's a sound tube that connects to the intake in the engine bay and blasts a bit of induction noise into the passenger footwell.

We recently learned about a cool little trick designed into the BRZ that allows you to block this noise pipe with the 12 volt AC cover in the glovebox, and effectively turn off/on the induction noise. Here we compare the car's sound with and without the influence of the sound tube.

In our opinion, the BRZ is a little bit too quiet with the sound tube blocked, but it is nice to experience the car's natural engine note. Stay tuned for our next video on the car where we'll see how the BRZ performs with the Corsa Performance intake and cat-back exhaust.
