Facotry air box mod?
I used to have a Subaru WRX. The guy's on the Subaru chat page came up with a resonator box on the air filter that could be removed. This changed the tone of the car, and also allowed it to breat a little better with the aid of a K&N drop in filter. Does anyone know if the Z has such a resonator box to remove? It may free up a couple of ponies if it does. That could save a couple of $ on a intake.

it does have a large air box, but if you were to remove it you would then have a hot-air intake since the box sits inside the engine bay with the front intake end being out in the bumper area.
on another note.... all this talk of getting aftermarket CAI systems on the Z is crazy to me... the stock Z is already a CAI. Thats why gains with the aftermarket CAI's are so minimal. I think most buy it for looks.

I think I know what you are talking about-- My car used to have one- I removed it. Its a resonator or a snorkel through which the airbox gets its air. It helps to baffle sound, but it also restricts airflow to the intake. If the Z has one and it's removable, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get rid of it and replace it with a cold air or forced induction hose-- that's what I did on my car: custom cold air/forced induction to the airbox.

the resonator is there to allow air to flow into the intake in bursts, if you will. it is to prevent ice from forming in the throttle body.
and the Z doesn't have one.
