Default a big question?

Hey guys.. On the stock intake tube, there is a hole that goes to resonator plastic box thingy underneath the tube...

Well, I took tape and covered that hole up.. It made the car sound louder, better and also throttle response is better too..

Will covering that hole up in the stock intake tube mess up the car?

i thought of this and did it and it worked, but i dont want to mess up the car..


its just like the joe-z intake tube..
