    lol well the bigger box was used to so that you can visually see the difference, bigger or smaller the outcome is the same. But i mean lots of cars run them out the factory without them, some aftermarket companies weld them into their intakes as well. i personally like them there, as air is stupid and will go all over the place, the honeycomb directs air flow consistently the same without change.

    ya it does direct air flow perfectly no mater what. only reason i honestly did it was cause i destroyed it the day before the tune by stepping on it accidently lmao, glad it works without it, also happy you can discuss it without a huge flame war overtaking this poor OPS thread lol.
    To the op: YA THE tb's need to been cleaned they get pretty gunked up, more on the other side of the tb though(not the side your trying to get to).
