I'm sure this question has been asked before and I apologize in advance for asking. What exactly is the purpose of the air intake resonator? I've been reading alot about people taking theirs off. What is gained (or lost) by removing the resonator? It must serve some purpose if Ford put it there? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

I think that the resonators are absent on 98 and up contours, mystiques and cougars. I went to the nearby Ford dealer and ordererd that accordian tubing from a 98 mystique, it just replaced the whole thing. If you just take it off it will probably leave a big hole that you will have to tape shut or something.

The "Medussa" tube is in the fender (driver's side) on the 98+.
