Currently in the process of refitting the original air box to the 6, does the plastic resonator box do anything?

Ive done a quick search but ive never heard of anyone blanking it off. Im just curious really, any ideas?

Cheers

yes it does something but people do blank them off. it's for resonance and helps the flow i believe and also controls sound somewhat. google 'helmholtz resonator' Big grin

ive head of people blanking off the resonator on the inlet manifold but never anyone doing it to the airbox. I imagine it doesnt make much difference but I was just curious Smile
