What is the black plastic box from the IAC to intake do?

[Acheron315]

What does that black plastic box that is between the induction tubing and the Inlet Air Control do? Is it just a resonator to cut down on noise, or is it some sort of filter? Can I remove it and just run straight hose? I see where it can be taken apart but am hesitant to do so in case it won't go back together.

Thanks!

I found myself wondering the same thing yesterday.

Dont listen to the WRX man

Its a box to tone down the whistle at idle the IAC makes....or so I have heard. Take the hose off from where it connects to the IAC and fire her up just for fun...im not kidding, the car sounds like it has a very large cam! Friend of mine at a local meetup just did this to his GT (stock cams) and it literly would put mine to shame....actually sounded very good. Ofcourse you cant run around like that, but its fun to try

It is for sound deadening.

Is that its only purpose?

If so, I should be safe in removing it then.

lol... why does everyone want to remove it?

Its purpose is to quiet the IAC whistle and to keep the hanging idle hang lol...

Edit: I tried removing the hose at the IAC and the car wouldnt stay running (just to see how it sounded .)

As long as by "filter" you mean noise filter, because otherwise, it filters nothing else. That baby is completely hollow inside.

A buddy of mine removed his & plugged the hole up. I could see that stupid box confusing the intake air & robbing a little HP, & its ugly. Im glad I have a C&L.

He removed the black box & plugged the hole with something. not sure what he used though.

You guys are referring to this little black box protruding from the intake tube right? Its in this old pic from my Cardomain page

I am still not understanding what hole he plugged. If you remove the Black box, you need to run a longer piece of hose, there is nothing to block off.

A longer hose to what? . He plugged the hole where the box was connected. That box has no hose. Here look at this pic...

A longer hose to what? Click on that link & look at the picture. He plugged the hole where the box was connected. That box has no hose.

You are talking about the wrong thing my friend. We aren't talking about an Air inlet Silencer. We are talking about the little black box connected inline with the IAC (Idle Air Controller)

All u have to do is remove the box & fabricate something to plug the hole in the intake tube.
