plenum mod
My previous auto was a Pontiac Solstice in which I installed a CAI unit. The best part of the mod was the sound that resulted. Without the stock plenum, the engine just sounded better; a little more "sound" is the best way to describe it.
The LS3 has a similar plenum system; likely to reduce engine noise to some acceptible "government" standard. I don't plan to install a CAI on my vette for various reasons.
Here's my question: if I blocked the plenum hole, would there be any negative affects on the engine? I suspect that the "engine noise" that normally gets muffled in the plenum would be there and the airflow to the engine would stay the same. Any comments?
