JUst take the elbow pipe off that sits between the res. and the intake piping, just leave the resonator there then clamp a nice hose on the hole for the OSCAI (see stickies). I also removed the little one on intake side of the box and sealed it up. Also cut a couple of holes in the lower air box, cheap man's, but some say; and agree, that it runs the smoothest and give ya more air.

so what is the point of that little extension box/elbow that stems off from the giant resonator box...isn't it the oil collector box? is that changing my performance any by leaving it connected to the resonator box? or should I take it off and plug that hole up?

while ur at, do the OSCAI. get like a vac hose and connect it down to the bottom of the car. i had the setup for a year, ran great. now have a bomz CAI. sounds even better and the air filter breathing is like 5 times louder cause of the fenderwell.

yea, the long snorkel thing that goes on top of the radiator should be taken off, gave me more power just by removing it
