Does "Zoodad" mod change sound ?

I done the zoodad mod while it was still warm weather. I hadn't really noticed any changes in sound until it became colder weather. It sounds as if the intake air can be heard a lot more and it seems as though the turbo spooling can be heard more too. Would someone give me some insight? (or) Could it be that my hearing is actually improving at my age?????

Your hearing is improving. It causes no sound change.

That's great news I wish I could believe, but I'm still suspicious of the increased sound level! Thanks for the reply!

I noticed no sound increase or performance increase at all with the zoodad.

Would cleaning out my ebp tube and sensor make a difference? I done that a few weeks ago, it was a total mess in there! I would assume it was totally clogged, a real pita to get anything started through there!

Some say that you cannot tell a performance difference when you clean the EBPS but I swear that I noticed smoother throttle response and acceleration when I did mine. Might be all in my head too.

It seems like I notice the sound more while getting up to normal operating temp., that's why I was wondering about the EBPS and EBPV. Thanks!

It throws out hot air really quick though!

Yeah it's just your hearing. If you don't believe it, take the grille off and put a piece of cardboard in the hole, go out and see if it still does it.

I only hope that I do not have some kind of ensuing problem around the intake system that's getting ready to bite me in the butt. Thanks guys!
