I just bought a '95 Civic (DX) and I was looking under the hood and I noticed something that I have no clue as to what it is. Its like the black funny shaped tube in front of my air filter. I looked at it from all different angles and still couldnt figure it out. If anyone knows what it is can you please let me know...


I posted a pic. like some of ya'll asked.

Be more specific.. or if u have a picture that would help. You sure its not the intake?

 

intake pipe?

 

come on...ya'll...someone has to know what it is...

 

has to do with intake, have one in my del sol. brings air from under your front bumper into your bay

 

That's the resonator. You can remove all of that. In fact, when you add an aftermarket intake, you remove all that crap.

 

^^^ yeah that just connects to ur intake go after market

 

There's a loud sucking noise that comes with intaking air into your engine.
That pretty much reduces the noise, that is all.

 

OK now I guess the next question would have to be. When I take all the stuff out what would be the best cold air intake to get?

 

any piece of pipe, doenst matter, and a k&n filter. An intake is an intake, doesnt matter, just get the cheapest you can find with a k&n filter

doesnt air come through tthat thing for your stock intake

 

yep. The point of that thing that you highlighted is to avoid the bigger debris from getting into the intake. I took all of htat out, and made holes about 6 in. underneath where the filter is and now my car sounds like its got a short ram. Ghetto but works.
