i was messing around under the hood, and i took the air box apart, and i was puzzled by what i saw. the computer, the entire computer unit, is INSIDE my airbox.under the filter, and then another filter, i guess to prevent water? however, i guess the cpu is there, to constantly be getting cooled with air. i dont know guys.

also, i noticed a TUBE, that went from the induction whole the car sucks its air through, inside the airbox and directly into the filter. i decided id take that out. and now theres no tube inside the air box, just a hole and the filter.

any input guys? thanks

yeah everyones "computers" are in the stock airbox, pretty much the only place for it. everything you mention every single one of us have, however idk what tube you are talking about.

Sounds like you have the secondary air pump.

It's just part of the airbox. I pulled mine out, then cut and drilled a mess of holes to allow for more airflow. That was until i scrapped the whole thing when I finally ordered a cold air kit.

yeah ive also taken it out. it seems like its a tube used to force air into a certain location, but **** it i took it out, now theres more room for air. but idk if ive noticed any difference.

hey did you notice anything from dirlling holes and such?

The purpose of the "tube" is to reduce intake noise, make it quieter.

I was told it was called a *air horn* to dampen the air sound so I removed it. I made the hole bigger, tossed in a k&n filter and added a smooth intake albow Instead of the accordian tube.
