Where does #1 go?
What is #2?

It sounds good, a deep rumbling when I get on it.. not sure if it makes me any quicker. It shouldn't hurt anything the filter and all is still there.

1 connect to a resontor in the front fender, no worries.

2 is also a resonation chamer. but it is connected after the MAF, so if you remove it, you will need to cover the hole left on the intake duct


Search for OSCAI. This involves attaching a hose to 1 and running it out the bottom of the engine bay through the splashguard for fresh air. By removing that long tube, all you have done is forced the engine to breath hot air, as opposed to the cool air it was getting from the front grill. I know it's loud now, but you probably arent making any more power.

The various resonation chambers have tuned volumes and shapes that are designed to keep the intake quiet.

I don't think It will be loud enough for anyone but you to notice. I did the same thing and replaced both of them after noticing my mileage going down a couple MPG's, but that could have just been the fact that I was getting on it more trying to hear it.

I just (tonight) ordered a CAI to take care of the intake situation. Hate to see my MPG after I install it!
