I hate the air resonator in my engine room. It is always in the way. You don´t see anything and even to change the fuel filter is bad with it. To take it out for working is a pain and takes time....
So i am thinking to remove it complete and close the tube.
Did someone here the same or at least made a test?
My question is:
Any decrease of power in low rpm?
Any increase of noice?
Something else?
I appreciate your coments!

I took a 2" pvc sch 40 cap and turned it down a touch to fit properly in the intake. It is a touch louder but it makes it easier to get to everything.

We've removed a few of them. No difference.

Thats what i expect and want to hear

I made this part from aluminum to close the hole.




Unfortunatly i can not test the van in the moment as i have no registration ( cost a lot of money here and I will not drive it in winter time on our salty roads)
