Guest xerverkillah Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hello peeps just wondering what are these 2 boxes under the stock na intake pipe for? are they some sort of air reserve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 maybe boxes to keep the noise down when i removed that piping and replaced it with a custom made one the noise level was well different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xerverkillah Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 maybe boxes to keep the noise down when i removed that piping and replaced it with a custom made one the noise level was well different ah k. must be resonators. any improvements from when u replaced the piping or just aesthetics?

Chris Wilson Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 They are part of the tuned, dual length intake system. Of course, binning them to fit an air intake that filters less ably than the stock paper element, draws in hot under bonnet air, whilst also spoiling the tuned resonance of the system is a good idea. Toyota missed out on that cheap and simple possibility for more power, better filtration and a wider power band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xerverkillah Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 ya i know all about the downsides of upgrading intake without CAI. im running stock air box atm just wondering if there would be any benefits to running a straight pipe from the stock box to the Y intake.

Guest xerverkillah Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 surely cant be that bad if it is a disadvantage hehe but i guess toyota engineers wouldve have put 2 boxes there for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above... taking out the resonance will affect engine performance in some manner. I hardly think some Japanese designer put extra mouldings (read extra cost) just because they 'looked cool'. as performance goes there will be no gains to be had from ditchin it ive got an apexi on mine routed down in to the bumper left cut out sounds brill if your in to noise So you have your filter low and at road level??? What about water ingestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
