Ah, its just a resonator? To dampening the voice of the vaccum?
Because, I am planning to install a short ram intake, and to do that, this whole plastic/rubber pipe with this thing must go off. |

I think that little box is just that...a resonator...or maybe a little box to collect water from the intake moisture.

That was my first mod ever. The same day I got my car, I removed the stock airbox and slapped on a $20 cone filter with a short aluminum pipe. I left the IAT sensor dangling. Oh the ignorance.

But you really felt like you were hauling ass after that tho didn't you
 We all did - that alone made the price we paid worth it.

I threw the Ebay special SRI on my GT lol. It really didn't do much for it but make it sound AWESOME. Granted, my car is still slow as balls, but it sounds BA enough to scare all the Civic guys off (except the ones who actually know what they are talking about and get swaps. Those guys suck -_- ). But the point is, the sound alone was worth my $30.
