Symposer Defeat

Here’s the full video. Still above was at approx 13mins though the whole video is worth watching.

The question still stands about a fuse that can simply be pulled?

These symposer parts at the back of the engine are flimsy rubber and plastic, and are clearly light duty, and would not withstand anything more than engine compartment heat. So I can't imagine they are transmitting anything but sound, and I'm pretty sure my 2" of sound deadening insulation will render this quality piece of equipment useless.
Spend most of the afternoon buffing and waxing my truck, so I don't feel like going anywhere in the Jag to see if there is a noticeable sound difference, but I'll let you know after I get a chance to test it.

Yeah I’ll just block it then. Thanks guys. Oh btw my engine cover is already off too so I’m sure it’s easy to knock out in a minute.
My exhaust over powers the “fake engine sound” but when the music is off and I’m rolling onto the throttle when driving slow, I hear that stupid buzzing come on. Annoys the hell outta me so hopefully this fixes that.

From the drawings I've looked at, it appears to be passive, i.e. no electrical connections. Perhaps you're confusing this with the active exhaust fuse?

All this talk about SC whine, but for what it's worthmy SVR has zero audible SC whine, and it doesn't even have an engine cover. No different when it was stock, tuned, or now with VAP catted downpipes as well.
Nothing compared to my AMGs from 10 years ago, be it stock or modified.

PS - Older folks don't tend to pick up the higher frequencies that are required in order to hear Yanny...LOL

Funny thing is, with the Eurotoys larger crank pulley and VAP tune I now hear heaps of SC whine but I still can't detect any symposer noise.
Maybe it's just too subtle for me, not unlike many things!

Hey! Where did you get the nifty 3D image? Do they have that for the rest of the parts in the car?

This was assembled for OzXFR's V6S, and he was kind enough to share. Don't know what model you have, but there's a lot in common between V6 and V8 F-types.

You might also enjoy my repository of F-type docs. Feel free to copy what you want, I got most of them off this forum.
