Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, just cleaning my throttle body, so i removed the air filter housing. Checking everything over and ready to reassemble, but im wondering what the black empty box fastened inside the housing is for?? is it a baffle for noise reduction or what ?? Can i remove it for moe flow?? if so anyone know what would happen?

POST 2Original post

Just asked the same question. Check this thread. https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...errerid=114694 According to the dealers I have contacted, there is no replacement part listed unless you want to buy the entire airbox.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok, so its good to know, but there is an actual secondary little box inside the box. there is the main plastic pipe to the throttle body, then there is a little side extension that goes to the air box and fastens to a box thats inside the big air box. sorry ,difficult to explain.

POST 4Original post

Do a search for "Orange cap" and you'll find all of the info you need on the subject.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks wyovino! think ill leave that little box in there and just run stock. Gonna go with the new exhaust system for better sound. I dont wanna mess with the MAF and possibly affect my engine which runs really well as it is.

POST 6Original post

I think that's a good plan. Do a search for Fister as in Fister D exhaust mod. It's the best bang for the dollar and give your car a great sound. And most of all, enjoy your car!
