Sound symposer removal

Noise feedback system removal
Anyone else removed theirs? While changing the coolant temp sensor on my 2010 xkr today, I must have broken (or it already was) broken a vacuum line for the symposer. So since I'm in there I started researching it, and it pretty much seems like a unnecessary complicated thing to have. I think I'm just going to remove the entire unit rather than replace that vacuum line. Thoughts?

Per the workshop manual:
The noise feedback system generates a sporty, powerful engine sound in the passenger compartment, at high engine load and speed settings, to enhance the driving experience... The symposer system modifies induction sound waves of a specific frequency range, at given engine settings, to produce the required engine sound.

I wasn't even awake my XKR had this! I used to have a Z4 with the inline 6 motor and they used to have something similar, but in one of the tubes leading to the bulkhead there were 2 pieces of foam; 1 at either end. It was a popular mod to remove 1/all of these pieces of foam to get greatly induced induction noise. Sounded great.
Is there any sound dampening foam in the Jag one?
I don't see what issue people have with these systems to be honest as it's genuine engine/induction noise which is being piped in, as opposed to new BMW/VW cars where it's a 'fake' sound is generated through the speakers.

Exactly my thoughts too....I'm wondering if this might be a possible place to tap in a pressure port for a boost gauge. I've been reading about the ford focus guys doing this and the shape of the tube flange even looks similar, but I won't know until I have mine off. It's a pain to get to...

Yes, there's a simplified device on the 4.2, see this thread for more info :
