Checked the service manual, can't find out the purpose of this part. Although it's illustrated in various places, no name is assigned that I can find. Looks like a resonant chamber, and no hoses connect to it, it's simply stuck off the corrugated rubber intake area. I may have a use for the 30mm hole it occupies so would like to know the reason for it being. BTW, it has N3H3 LOW on it (part number?)

Side note: interestingly there is what appears to be a production date mark on it that has '03 thru '10 indications on it. Maybe that's how long the RENESIS is to live ? Thanks.

It is a resonant chamber.

Being so far down the intake, I doubt it would be "just for noise control" i.e. expendable. More likely to tune out a resonation in the intake that was farking things up, measurement-wise.

here's the entire parts manual in PDF format:

it's an early version, so don't be surprised if part numbers have been superceded, etc.

Way cool, thanks for the teaser Go48 and the whole Enchilada TeamRX8

It's great to have this parts breakdown I've only seen at the dealers parts counter before...many thanks TeamRX8 for that!

Still wonder what that strange convoluted appendix is doing for the intake charge and at what point is plays its effect, only an RX-8 intake designer propably knows for sure I suppose. No wonder it's so hard to make a decent intake for the 8!
