Re: G6 2.4 ltr

what is the purpose of this? can it be removed?

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

You can remove the whole thing and replace it with tubing, as long as the Box filter stays in place and the MAF is put back in place as well...

As for what it is, I do not know.

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

ill still ask jus in case someone knows and comes in later...does it restrict air flow? can it be like the resonator? so if it can be taken out, and an intake take its place? something similar in size and shape but looks better. would there be any problems with that? sorry for all the questions, jus trying to find info about it.

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

Yea I think its some kind of resonator. Its attached to the intake and you can't remove it by itself.

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

Its one of the resonators, if you get a civic short ram intake, 90 deg elbow, and cut it to fit you can clamp it to the air box like we did. Gets rid of that ugly stock intake tubing and a lil bit better air flow.

cool. would you know if there would be any air/fuel/computer problems? and where did you get the civic intake?

You can get the intake from ebay/pep boys/etc. No a/f or CEL problems with your stock filter, just flows & looks a little better.

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

Im gonna try one more thing but if that doesn't work I will put the stock filter back in. I will try to use the Injen 90 degree to see if it can be of some use. Im tired of driving my car while it shifts like its on crack!

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

Next time you have 2k laying around...

Either way, if youre looking for 2.4l performance parts. ZZP has a crap load. Header, down pipes etc etc.

Hey have you done this yet? I was just thinking i wanted to try doing this too with the injen intake.

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

Yea kinda. I was in a hurry but I put in the stock Filter Box and the Stock Intake Ducting. What I added is a Drop in K&N Air Filter and I got some tubing and ran it from my fog light to the hole in the Stock Air Box. My Dash hawk says the Intake Air is usually about 3-4 degrees hotter than the air outside. That's not to bad, I think! I think my exhaust tone sounds better with the SAB. I might try the Civic Intake and 90* eventually but im just to busy with everything else right now. Im gonna sell my Injen Intake and start working on the suspension.

Re: G6 2.4 ltr

Another mod idea for us..........I saw on ZZP's page that they have a throttle body (TB) spacer that allows for a Cobalt SS TB to be placed on a LE5 intake manifold (IM). The reason being the intake manifold on the 2.4L has a 66.5mm opening but the stock throttle body is only 64.6mm. Here is the link: http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_ion ... &catid=174

Would this work for us without screwing up the ECM?

A variation of this..........instead of getting a spacer/Cobalt SS TB just port our existing tB from 64.6 to 66.5mm. There is company called maxbore.com that will port TBs. I've talked with him once before about TB porting for an Accord I had several years ago. He could just port our TB to 66.5 mm and be done with it.

The question is whether the ECM will freak out. I don't want to shell out for a new TB if this goes wrong.

Doubtful that anything will go wrong, but $130 for a 1.9mm bore increase & no realistic power gain? Break out your dremel man......
