I have a 2000 max, and i was looking at the engine bay ye4sterday, and under the battery i noticed this white container, or tank of some sort. but there is nothing in it, and looks like there is a space where a cap would go but its just a hole. anyone know what this container is for??

its right uner the battery.

 

I heard that they remove it to bring more air to the engine or someting like that....

 

yah i took that out when i put in my CAI...i have no idea what it's for...only thing i can think of is to catch excess fluid of some sort???

 

hmmmmmmm and yours had the hole on the left side also?? w/no lid?

 

I've heard that it serves a dual purpose: As an intake resonator and a small air reserve when you punch it, since the engine literally breathes through a straw with the stock intake

 

its junk in the trunk, take it off and throw it out. its only a 2k thing, they removed in in 2k1... serves no purpose... if u get a cai, u need to remove the white thing... ask larrio for a detailed explanation

 

so i can just remove it w/out worrying? its easy to remove roght?

 

It was hooked up to my stock intake. When i removed it for the new intake, there it was. I hope the dirt that was in it wasnt goin to the old filter! I plan on takin it off with y'all advice if u can remove it from the top.

 

You could replace it with a matching size piece of pvc, make it into a cold air intake

 

so do i take it off or leave it?

 

not difficult to remove or in any way detremantal to your ride's health

 

ok than ill remove it thanx for the help guys!
