Can anyone fab up a "noise maker" delete?

hmmm

might try to modify mine to remove it ha ha

dremel, big rubber elbow over it, and some big hose / intake clamps :)

I bet I have some parts laying around from doing my Expedition full K&N intake intake I can use to make it work and not be ugly.
 
the noisemaker comes right off the intake tube can we just remove it and cap the hole in the intake ?

might need bigger chair leg caps though lol

It is just a nipple with a hole after the noise maker is removed... I suppose you could.  I would recommend high temp silicon and consider good clamp for that since it is on the high pressure pipe entering the throttlebody. 

The one thing to consider is that replacing the tube leading to the throttlebody with a smooth wall tube not only removes the noisemaker, but by smoothing the place where the nipple enters the pipe you will eliminate any unusual vortices in compressed air flow to the throttlebody and the aproximately 1.5 x 2" cylindrical nipple opening cavity.  These are factors that will accumulate any recirculated exhaust gas and contents (from your pcv valve).
I do not know if they might condense here and cause liquid to enter the throttle body, but it would be one of my concerns.  :dunno:
 
While we are wishing if I had access to lathe. I would make a aluminum slug with a O-ring land and a land for the hair pin that holds it in.

i'm going to see if there's a rubber elbow to cover it up and use some large CAI hose clamps to cover the hole. Just have to dremel the nipple out :)

maybe I'll remove it then ductape it off real good first to see if I like it gone before I get too carried away. I wonder why the SHO has it but the MKS does not. Seems like it would be the opposite.

Pretty sure because they want the Lincoln to be the quieter luxury model.

It is there to direct engine noise back to the cabin in the sportier SHO.
 
I don't think it really does much.  Especially if you have any intake or exhaust mods.  Some guys just think they are ugly.
