Dumb question.. what's the random part attached to the intake accordeon tube? It's an empty black plastic box.. No function that I can see.

I'm assuming it has something to do with noise suppression?

Anyone know what it's called and the intended function?

Thanks,

Resonance chamber. I think it's function is just as you've stated; intake noise muffling.

Paul.

 

Which leads me to the next question - would taking it off and closing off the hole make the intake louder? Has anyone tried?

Incidentally, this would also make a great location for a nitrous nozzle Although the TB spacer plate by BHR sounds like it will be nice too.. Decisions decisions

 

Can you point the part out to me in this pic?

 

it's not in that pic.. If I have time this weekend I'll see if I can find a simple way of blocking it off and post up some pics
