Good Evening,
I saw posts regarding the airbox and removing resonators and using "cold air" intakes. My question is this... Where the intake pipe goes into the airbox, there is a piece that goes up into a resonator space in the air box cover. My concern is I can't verify that this is making a good seal. What if it's leaking around there and drawing in un-filtered air? Maybe I should use duct take and seal it off. I suppose the only downside of that is it might change the sound of the intake? I removed a resonator on my S10 that was a real PIA due to being in the way, and I can't tell the difference. Below are pics of what I'm referring to which one I ripped off another post on this site. One is the hole in the pipe and the other is the bottom of the lid to the airbox that it connects to. Any input is appreciated.
