that a resonator to quiet things, my advise would be to rip out all that crap and go buy a cone filter and attach it to the MAF sensor and relocate the intake temp sensor to the intake pipe. this will give bigger gains and better sound and will still be safe from water in the stock location unless you like to go pond hopping

I dunno but that looks like the inline six intake systems, Im tellin ya man if you want a intake but dont want to spend a lot of money cone filters clamp rite to the MAF sensor, if you are not sure about this you can look at the custom cold air system I made on my cardomain link below.

I bought an intake and hooked it directly to the intake manifold. but now I have the temp sensor (i think) loose with nowhere to go. I took off the top of the airbox am not using it, but I left the bottom of the airbox in place because of the hose comming from the cooling fan to the airbox.

so.....now I just dont know what to do with the temp sensor I guess. should I just tape it to the side of the cone filter? or do I need to cut a hole in the MAF and glue it in there? i'll post a pic in a minute

it will work fine just sitting next to the intake, too

ok i guess i'll take your word for it. Has anyone done this as well?

by the way what exactly did I do by not using the standard airbox anymore and instead using the cone filter?

its just supplying more air to the engine right?

well.....the engine definetly sounds healthier with the cone filter. when pulling from 2500-3800 it sounds very nice indeed alot like my audi 1.8T

glad to hear it

i fogged my airbox a few months ago, with dryer duct hose, that aluminum stuff, and I channeled it down to the vents next to the fog light. The idea was to make it a RAM Air, and it worked, well i might add, but the dryer duct didn't last the winter, it fell off my car on the highway on my way to school one day, and the back pressure from it hanging underneath my car nearly stalled me. It was pretty freaky, but I immediately knew what it was, and now that it's not on there, it does feel a bit slower.

just my 2c

"the tube coming from the cooling fan" you refer to, is that the air inlet that comes into the bottom of the stock airbox? as far as i remember, the only hose coming INTO the airbox is the stock air inlet (which is routed over the radiator in an insulated tube), but i could be wrong. if it IS the air inlet (follow it to the opposite end), then you can remove the airbox and the tube completely (like m44ic did - i know because i have his sitting in my garage ).

theoretically, you're flowing more air, but you're also very likely getting hotter air from inside the engine compartment instead of cooler outside air from the stock inlet. you lose the stock sound dampening too (as you've noticed)

Just want to make sure everyone is familiar with the original Fogger and the arguements for doing it.

yeah i left the lower section of the airbox because of the stock air inlet. so i think im gonna leave that there. If i were to remove that stuff then I dont thinnk the cone would be breathing as much. Id like to try to remove the metal piece to the side of the fog lights and then run a hose through the bumper there to the cone filter but I cant seem to be able to take off the metal piece. so im not sure what im going to do. But I still want to possibly "fog" it if theres a way.

I ran my intake right behind the headlight on purpose, I know that it doesnt bring in gobbs of air usually but when I go to the track I take my headlight out and the filter gets all the air it needs.
