if your talkin about the device im thinking about, that simply runs into the header, its there to put an air mixture in with your exhaust. Like the post above said, it is just for emission purposes, nothing huge.

Appropriate thread for my question.. Ok I've got a small dent (yeah it sucks) so I decide to get under there and try to fix it. I pull out the black crap in the fender well and get under the car and start banging.. I notice this big huge black box with seemingly no connections to it.. It seems to be directly below the stock airbox and maybe connected to it through the metal.. WTF is that?

Who knows, take it off!

JK I think its some kind of a resonator box thats supposed to quiet down your car. Who knows. Just ask your self: 'Who designs these damn things' next time your working on your car.

just a thought, have you ever seen the lower intake box, the one you take off for cold air.....it only has ONE hole in it....curious as to how it gets any air in when the only hose is connected to the box above it......chalk it up to MORE SPARE PARTS...:bash

It's added weight to our "ALREADY" powerful cars to slow it down a bit. Take it out and go faster.
