No, I jsut bough it, It came in a bag and said" factory pre-oiled" I took most of the oil from were the filter meets the flow-meter cus it sliped out all the time. I don't intend on putting oil on it when I wash it anyway. I know that the oil was the prob. Cus when I opened the intake, i saw the litle trace, kind of like a line going to the flow metter sensor, like a spot. Yust use alchol and it will do the trick.

one more thing, It didn't went into the engine, it just got to the Flow Metter, wich is right to it

 

get the reusable one and cut your stock box, id say its just as good as a cone filter.

 

what if you simply remove the resonator from the stock airbox? let more air in that route

 

no. it'll just get louder. the air doesn't bounce as much.

 

thus the name "resonator".

Actually, removing the resonator will double the intake area for air to come in, since now you have 2 small pipes leading to the intake, instead of one small pipe that leads to the resonator, then to the airbox.

 

it also depends on what model he has, an s13 doesnt have a resonator like the s14 box has

 

Wrong, there is a resonator box. I took mine out. I got ram air status now, lol. But yeah, dude, just cut the bottom of the stock air box to allow air to enter through the whole bottom rather than just througha hole.

 

ahahah i have wanabe ram air status to.. i cut mine like raine's (left the resinator insert hole).. air ducted it to the front bumper =0P
