   Do you mean the fuse box is on the left hand side for US-north america left hand drive cars? I did this method and removed the exact fuse you show - but it didn't really seem like the exhaust was that much louder...hard to tell maybe. the engine sounds best above 4000 rpms anyways when it's screaming. At 2000, you're usually driving slow and it's just a low rumble - hard to hear in the interior.
