Yeah, without them, the quantum flux reactor solenoid would fail causing an audible air intake sound which GM seems to think drivers dont want to here.

 

That sound you just heard was a paradigm shifting without a clutch....

ouch [&:]

 

So the cap'd bottom was a dumb idead I take it. >.<

 

No we're just being stupid. Did you notice any difference in the way your truck sounds? There really won't be a performance increase but the exhaust note might be a tiny bit different.

 

The intake noise didnt increase or anything though the look of a simplified intake is cool I guess...lol
Really the dumped exhaust note doesnt change too much its just a gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle. XD

Edit: Idk if Im goin def but apparently the truck sounds better says my pops and uncle and they didnt know about the intake cap till I mentioned. Either way interesting thing to do with-in 30 mins.

 

what you removed is actually called the void air box. that is if it was the one that was hanging down next to the radiator. My s10 had one of those too. it was totally useless. I think any mods you can do that remove useless pieces of plastice and even make the slightest difference are worth it. Good job!

 

Hell, its gotta help by removing that thing cause it sits right next to the exhaust manifold and you know its gotta get pretty hot.

 

wow pretty cool list! I'm going to try some of those

 

Yeah I recommend starting with the ram air box mod! That is actually the only one I've done but it works AWESOME! With a K&N air filter it's just like a cold air intake!

 

it's easy on the wallet too.
