air box n etc.

[RetailHell]

Ok, there's the air box right? Next to the little pipes on the inside theres this weird little box thing with lines running from it to the throttle body, has number 8 on em. I was planning on gutting the entire air box and resonator etc, but then first one of the threads on the fender stripped on me and i couldn't figure out wheither i could remove that air box thing or not... and just blah.

Kinda hard to tell what part you are talking about without a picture... does it look like anything in these pictures?

[flcb7]

yes the air box can be removed. ppl do it all the time when you install a CAI.

i think your talking about 15-18. i took mine out. and just pluged the vaccuum line to the engine. and cut the bottom out of my stock airbox.
I think its just a trap door that opens the other pipe on full throttle. (on lower picture). im curious what is 38 though.

[Night Wolf]

its number 38 on the 2nd pic. it controls a flap in number 18 that allows more air in at higher RPMs.

you can remove it. just cap the the vaccum line at the throttle body. then remove the stock intake completely. youll have to reach under the fender to get at the screws for the intake resinator (#9)

Thats weird when I removed my stock air box I didnt have #28 hose...but I did have a spot on the intake hose but the hole wasent punched out. Nor did I have the vaccum set up under my air box. An Im only the 2nd owner and the old guy who owned it be4 didnt do any mod's at all. So now Im woundering why mine didnt come w/.

I use special K&N performance filter for use in stock air box,

can CAI and removing process of box give much more performance ???

Don´t think so....

Replacing your stock intake set up with a CAI wont give your anymore proformance?? If thats what your sayin then your MAD wrong.( if thats not what your sayin then MY BAD, cus then I dont understaind what the hell your trying to say then ) Im sorry but cone filters are way more efficient then filters that go in your stock box.

One think its use all stock, another is using performance filters in stock box
and third its a use cone filters and CAI.....

What I´m trying to say is I don´t feel much difference between second
and third options....

[RetailHell]

Yeah, it was 38 in the 2nd picture. I just wanted to know if i could remove that without screwing up something mainly because it was connected to electronics and the throttle. I didnt notice much a difference with a SRI in sound and power so i just left stock setting in for those reasons.

K&N makes bad ass cone filters that have really good air flow. I started out just using a cone filter on the end of the stock hose and I felt a good bit of throttle response. Then when I got a 3 diameter pipe for the filter it made even more off a diff. in throttle response and in top end. Sorry if I came across as a dick, I wasn’t trying to be.

No problem men.
