has anyone ever just taken the white box off and used the stock air box for an intake?? i wanna know if that will be any good

sshaikh01

Yep and Yes.

JforJonathan

did you take the white box and black tube out..or did you leave the black tube in and just take the white box out??

JforJonathan

did you leave the black tube in or did you take the tube and white box out?? and how was performance

JforJonathan

the white box behind the bumper where the lower black intake tube goes to.

i think it's a white tube with a black box or something...

B16A2-EM1

even if you did this, you would still be pulling in hot air from the engine? right? I dont see the benefits of this.

JforJonathan

if i left the lower tube on still it gets air from behind the bumper

sshaikh01

i don't think there is anything white.
they all the black.

No it doesn't suck in hot air, its like a ram air intake, but sucks less air than it.

But yes i did notice gains. very little but yes.

there is a white box behind the bumper like he said. it's attached to the snorkel tube thing. i don't think taking that stuff out will have a significant effect on the performance. if anything, you'll get to hear the intake a lot more than before.

it's called a resonator.. which is strange because it actually supresses resonances and hence should be called an anti-resonator

BlueBalls

they're actually acoustic chamber tuned to attenuate certain sound frequencies. i recently noticed that there is a small resonator on the intake arm that attaches to the throttle body. i never knew that there was a resonator there.
anyway, you could remove the white resonator and the snorkel and make yourself a cold air box by putting some of that piping used for dryers between the bottom to the stock air box and the opening on front bumper.
