Replacing Pressure Converter/ "Kazoo" Sound Fix

Hey folks...sorry I originally posted this under the wrong section yesterday...looks like it belongs here more.

I was getting that "kazoo" sound for a while and had no idea it was an issue until I stumbled across it here lol. So I swapped out my pressure converter yesterday and made a video of how to do it...sort of. In hindsight, it's a really easy task...but it took me awhile because I had no idea of where to even start or how to get to it. So 2.5 out of the 3 hours was really trial and error removing of random pieces of the engine lol. But If I had to do it again it'd probably take 30-40 minutes.

Anyway, hope this video helps. FYI, I'm not a mechanic whatsoever in fact I'm as dumb as a rock so if I can do this, anyone can!

Sort of "How to":
