There is a second resonator between the MAF and the TB. That one
doesn't do anything. As was said, removing the first resonator can
make a difference.

ok, we're talking about 04 Elantra, right? could you point me out what part
did you remove in this drawing?

Right, there's one on the "elbow" of the pipe connecting the throttle
body and the MAF. I'm curious about it's function. I hope it's strictly
noise suppression, since that pipe will be replaced once I find a CAI
that will provide better flow than stock without compromising filtration
quality.

What I removed is everything downstream of part# 28210. That includes
the resonator/flex pipe assembly #28210f and it's snorkel-like extension
# 28214g.

It should be pointed out that a 100 000k in Canada is just than.. Kilometers
is the K thing in Canada.. Which would be right around 63000 miles..

That woudn't make any difference. I've measured the temperatures around the
inlets a couple of thousand times so far on my test mule.

What exactly does that mean? It's pretty hard to believe that air drawn
from the fender well would not be cooler than air drawn from immediately
behind the radiator, as with the stock system.
