When I did my nitrous kit I decided not to use that area for the nozzle as I was fearful of improper nitrous/fuel mixing with that location being so close to the throttle body and the turn in the intake manifold. Plus, I had no clue what the box was. Thanks for the info. I wonder how well that location worked.

I had a 95 Contour SE.. I know that noise well :D

just my $0.02 worth :D Regards, Art |
Get a PVC end cap for a 3/4inch pipe that should do it. then crank the strap around it.. done.

My little resonance chamber seems to have a vacuum line coming off of it. Is it just mine? I don't see it in the picture above. You'd need to relocate that too.

It is routed around it.. not coming off of it.

FYI- I found some more info on this resonance chamber (and a bit conflicting)... from my RX8 book by Jack Yamaguchi, it states that this chamber "acoustically pumps in more air and adds a few more horsepower." If I remember correctly, my Miata's intake tract also had one of these for the same reason...

hmmmm... well I'm going to go a couple of tanks with the stock intake and chamber - to see how "performance" is as well as fuel mileage. I'll then take out the chamber to compare things with my butt dyno and fuel mileage.
|
So did anyone ever end up takingout the chamber and plugging the hole?? I am interested inhow this affected performance and sound.
