I clicked the link abd immediately assumed it was just like all the other fake TRD stuff on eBay. Apparently it's real and does exactly what it says- changes the sound of the intake. I'm guessing each color is a different sound.

WTH? That's weird. So it makes different intake sounds like what it says. I wander where it's installed though? To me it looks like a pcv valve. LOL!

The FRS has a "sound tube" that goes from the intake to the floorboard on the passenger side. It basically pipes the intake sound into the cabin so you can hear more of what the engine is doing. It is pretty cool.

These "sound changers" alter the diameter of pipe that comes into the cabin, thus making it louder or quieter.

I like mine the way it is, though.

That 'sound tube' is a new level of retarded. Does the BRZ have that too?

I believe it's compatible with all three. The BRZ, FT86, and the FRS.

All three (GT86,FRS,BRZ) have it.

It isn't retarded at all, but I suppose you'd have to have one to understand. It is completely removable for those who don't like it. Either via an aftermarket intake or a simple plug installed in place of the pipe.

I like it, especially since it comes like that from the factory. Normally manufactures try to make the car too quite to suit the average person. This is the opposite and shows that the FRS is a drivers car.

It is interesting for being an analog concept; the M5 also has (had?) a system where it plays engine sound through the speaker system, which is the same difference to me as a nice set of naturals or some Barbie add-ons.

This tube kinda reminds me of THIS >>(i have no idea how to embed YT video on this forum)>>. And coincidently both come in three different colors that vary the sound.

This product is excellent. Imagine you dont want to be a massive nuisence on the road with a loud exhaust. But just want to enough your engine noise more. This product provides this service.

Really tempting to get a 86 now... but the wait is over a year for one.
