As you see in the picture my AIV is temporarily plugged. I am getting a breather for it for now, I may remove it later. Q1: Should it be plugged or get unfiltered air?(Until I get my breather)

Q2: I left the Y adaptor intake piece in there, as I thought it would help control the air to the filter itself. Everyone else removes them. Whats the reasoning behind removing it?

#2 is only a resonator. yea it takes some air from the fenderwhell to the airbox... but the main purpose is a resonator. it's the same as an altima.

 

I'm wondering the same thing about the AIV hose. Is it better to have it plugged or left open to suck in unfiltered air?

 

might as well remove the aiv since its not doing anything except take up space.
