Airbox Gutting
Will I increase the flow of air into my airbox by gutting the inner wall and taking out the funnel elbow which is attached to the top inner part of the airbox cover/lid? I currently have a Comptech foam/sponge air filter and a CF cooling plate with airbox scoop already installed. Also, will this create a nice cold air intake sound and gain me a few HP?

I doubt that it will give you the sound you want. As long as the lid is on, much of the sound will be kept within. Without the divider and the tube on the lid, you will be able to allow more air into the box, but here's the big question:
Does the engine actually need anymore air than what it already gets with the stock box? If it gets what it needs, making more available won't benefit much. So, I guess what I'm saying is no, I doubt this will give you a few more HP.

Where is the resonnance chamber and how do I cover it up? Got pics?
See how the lid comes off? Now see the part that looks like the lid but didn't come off (right end of airbox)? That's the sound chamber. If you look down into the chamber that the filter lives in, you'll see the hole that leads to the sound chamber.
How long have you owned this car and never looked at your airbox close enough to see that extra chamber?

sweet, thanks! Ive had my car for a year now, but recently got into modding it and learning more about it. All my life, I never knew much about cars. Im a pilot, so I mostlly focused on that topic.
