air filter resonator box

[lee19871]

hi, ive recently got aa vtr its a mk2 51 reg, ive bin tidying up replacing parts here and there, was looking at the air filter today and noticed that there is a connector part missing that connects the resonator box to the air filter housing. what im wondering though is is the resonator box actually a necessity as im not entirely sure what its for it looks like an empty box to me? would it be ok to just get rid and place a cold air feed to it instead? i understand this questuion has probably been asked numerous times before n i do apologise but advice appreciated.

youll be fine to just put a cold air feed onto the filter box mate

:hijack: sorry bout this.

will doing this increase the noise levels at all? or just help the engine breathe a bit easier?

shouldnt effect noise no
tbh it makes little difference but will be slighlty better if you get the feed nice and straight

call me stupid but wat does the resonator box actually do exactly? and does anyone else have two cold air feeds to their airbox then? any pictures?
