My T3 chatters perfectly well through the airbox, and it's unmodified.

If you mean you want it louder, the only way to do that is to replace the airbox with a cone.

The pattern tank pissed itself last week, despite being only 2 years old. Had to buy a new one, gone for a Ford one. I can't sit down now.
