Just took my resinator box off

[DSC]

Well I didn't have any money for a new intake or anything so I figured I would rip my resinator box off and order a k&amp;n air filter to throw in the stock spot. So I just finished takeing the box off and there are these 2 holes there, what do I do with them? just leave them as is, or do I have to cover them with something? Any danger of water getting in there? Woohoo my cars first mod <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> what'll it get once I put the new air filter in? a whooping 3hp? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I'm confused, 2 holes where? Where there hoses hooked to them? You don't want unfiltered air being sucked in, anyway to take a pic?

[DSC]

yeah. There were two hoses running into the box and when I took the box off they are just sitting there. they are before the filter, so no unfiltered air is getting in. I could take a pic but it would take a while to get it up here. I'm pretty sure its suposed to be like that. I just wanted to make sure.

If you removed the resonator (in the front at bumper height, near the fender), the two holes on the vertical box are before the filter. &nbsp;This is not a problem and you have nothing to worry about. &nbsp;You will be sucking in hot air from the engine bay, but you will have a robust roar and more air.

i did the same thing you did, &nbsp;i took a piece of 3 inch flexible a/c ducting and ran it &nbsp;from the intake holes on the air box through the hole left from the resonator and to the front of the car next to the fog light, &nbsp;kinda like a ram air. &nbsp;works awsome, &nbsp;i can really tell the difference in power, &nbsp;as it gets colder outside &nbsp;it gets better, &nbsp;my $4 mod took a half a sec off my 0-60 and 1/4 mile times

Just be careful with that, I've heard the ram effect can actually screw up your MAFS at higher speeds and cause your car to stall.

Also be sure to cover it up if it rains.

so water can get in there? &nbsp;

i dont think water would get into it if it rains.... a little water on the filter should not get in.... only if u have alot....
i did the same thing and i dont have problems

[megustaboosta]

i have been &nbsp;using the stock airbox and flat filter with a hose running down &nbsp;to the front &nbsp;for a while now, in lots of rain. &nbsp;there is little chance the water will be sucked up the tube and fill the airbox to be sucked into the MAF. &nbsp;i have yet to even get my filter wet even with all the recent flooding here in the houston, tx area

DSC, one question, why does it seem like your car is jacked up on those stock wheels?

&quot;New Air Bypass Valve
AEM's Air Bypass valve for Cold Air Induction Systems totally eliminates the unlikely chance of water ingestion should the filter element become wet from deep puddles, rain, hail, sleet or snow-or any other scenario in which the filter element could encounter or become submerged in water. The valve installs along the upper portion of the inlet pipe on the same axis as the throttle body centerline. Should a drop in pressure occur within the pipe, the valve shuts down induction at the filter and routes incoming air through the valve's external orifices, eliminating any chance of water ingestion.&quot;

this should help all those people out there that like cold air intakes, it works 7 of my friends have them and have driven slow/fast through puddles... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
as soon as i get the motor in the car this week, i will put one on also..
good luck buddy

Listen DSC, I did the same thing to my car, but the k&amp;n came first for me. Nevermind. I Took off my resonator box and connected a 3&quot; diameter piece of aluminum flex tubing (because it's flexible and strong) and used zap straps to attach it to the large hole which sits below the large tube which used to go down there to the resonator. It isn't a ram air setup like said above, just another inlet for air to get to your engine. I have the canadian runninglights, not the black grill below my bumper lights so my tubing gets fresh air from the ground (squeezed between my splash guard and my front bumper. &nbsp;I also live in a wet climate, not water will get in I guarentee (unless your driving through pools).

And to answer your question, the 2 tubes from your air box go to 2 places. One the resonator box (exresonator) and the other grabs more fresh air from behind your head lights. Don't take this piece off. It will work better if you keep it on.

i have the injen intake and cai, and it rains here all the time. &nbsp;We've probably had 30 days of rain in the past few months. &nbsp;Anyways, the one time I got water in the intake was because I was washing the car and I accidentally sprayed the filter. &nbsp;Other than that, water will not be a problem. &nbsp;Just stay away from huge puddles.

No Idea, it dosn't look that bad in real life...only thing I can think of is in one picture the wheel is turned giveing the gap a larger appearance and in another pic its dark and you can't see where the wheel ends and the gap starts. &nbsp;</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Quote: from mike95s14 on 11<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>4 pm on Oct. 8, 2001
