what is this in the engine bay???

[albsta]

Hi guyz,

I was snooping around checking out my AP1 engine bay...and i notice a smaller black box on the right attached to the stock airbox....when i open up the airbox...it doesnt seems like there is an openning connection between them....

So my question is...what the heck is this for?/>...does it serve any mechanical or performance purposes??? or is it just to HOG UP space???



thx...

It's a resonance chamber. If you take your airbox lid off and look towards the rear right hand side you can see the opening.

what does the resonance chamber do???

reduces intake sound.... acts like a "muffler" for intake noise.

look it up on google or something.

Get rid of it and notice the sexier sound they produce ;)

Just remove everything including the air filter box + resinator thingy and have a CAI (FIPK) and that would be awsome lol one thing i never got to get was a FIPK or j's racing intake :(

what does the mugen intake sound like? any different to the j's?

[F20C]

Dude most sound the same.. I cant even tell the difference from being infront of an FIPK to a drop in pod -.-

hey guys, is the resonator chamber attached to the bigger air box??>.. or its too separate box i can just remove individually ????

[F20C]

This will help take the lid off and the filter and you will see a hole on the back right bottom of the air box pretty sure thats where its located.

oh and are you going to block it? or remove it? im not too sure if you can remove it but just get some plastic and cover the little hole thing up imo.

its usually attached to the intake pipe from the airbox lid and cant be seperated. so you know what that means. cai ftw =]
