Exclamation Can't get rid of the "Moo"sound!!@%!

Sorry to bring this issue back from the dead but I can't seem to get rid of this "moo" sound. Sounds exactly like a boost leak but my car boost perfectly.

Symptoms: Occurs during light accelerating between 2000-2500 rpm but if I increase throttle it goes away. Also occurs when I left go of the throttle and coast down.

What I've tried: The rubber door stop method with 4 holes drilled into it.

Ironically this occured straight after I had my muffler change to a "quieter" one which leads me to believe that I've had this problem for a long time but because the car was so loud, I couldn't hear the "moo" over the top of the exhaust.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

try ONE hole about that size. i remember on the M2 intake box, the line for connecting the airpump bypass (the long metal tube) was about the size of a quarter, and the hole for the air to pass though was about 1/4" in diameter

You beauty problem solved! I reduced the number of holes to 3 and made the diameter alot smaller than those current ones and the problem went away.

Thanks again guys.

Follow up

All- just to put some closure on this issue. I also had added the 'Dale' drilled chair cap to my RX...didn't work.

Reduced the multi holed cap with a new cap with just 1 1/4 hole in the middle, mooing is dead :-)
Hope this helps someone
