Alright, so we have the air filter behind the motor...what the hell is the other box sitting next to it?

its an air resonator, it "resonates" the air making the air frequencies do stuff to become quieter, it just makes the car quieter, and it brings air up from the cooler areas ( low to the ground and in the fender ). It may serve another purpose but im not sure what that is, mine is removed and it runs fine, my brothers is removed and it runs fine, i have an aem now and it still runs fine with out it there.

So its like a silencer? What if I take it off, and just run the one box? My motor is gona have a deeper tone?

 
Rep Power: 475

dont do that, if you want a deeper tone just get an aftermarket intake....all it does is sound really, no power

I was gona get one, but the ebay ones I heard are junk, and the expensive ones arent worth the sound only if they added like 5 horses would I get one

My car pulled harder from a lower RPM without it on, I stil run it without now. Its also easier to do anything on the engine with it off.

it is a silencer, but it achieves that by resonating the air to certain frequencies.

If you take it off, your car may be louder, but not necessarily in a good way. You may gain like .25 HP. If you're gonna do all that, get a K&N drop in air filter. IMO, intake is the best way to go. Many people seem to do just fine with ebay intakes, the biggest issue there is some intakes not fitting right, rather than not lasting long. I bought a brand new AEM short ram intake, with the dry-flow filter off ebay for $100 shipped. That's really not a bad price. If this is your only engine mod, i definitely wouldn't bother with the V2, or any of these other $200+ intakes. Or, you could just leave everything the way it is. The best thing you can do for any air intake is change the filter regularly.

Good to see another medic on here. Nice name, btw. As far getting it sent to Canada, I just looked at AEM's website, seems they have dealers in Canada. Goto www.aempower.com, use the dealer locator function for international/export. Looks like they have a few dealers in Canada, that you can order online from. For some reason, the sites aren't coming up for me, so I have no idea what their prices are like, but you'd prolly save on shipping, with them already being in Canada. Let me know if that works for you.

again, im pretty sure its not cheap, but probably worth it since there would be no 'filter recharging' with that messy oil shat

resonator removed...is anything bad goin to hapen to the motor?

 
Rep Power: 290

Not unless you remove the filter.

 
Rep Power: 266

waght if i do a K&N drop-in with this setup...with it yield any gains?

 
Rep Power: 290

Yep, you'll get about an extra 0.25 HP.

 
Rep Power: 266

not worth the 40 dollars. il just shel out 70 and get an ebay shorty and a K&N cone

 
Rep Power: 290

Good idea, you'll get the same 0.25HP with that, but it'll sound better.
