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 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. 97 Ford Contour GL ATX 2.0L Zetec. -KKM intake -Tube behind MAF from 98 -Spraypainted grill silver -SE spoiler -Removed resonator muffler -Wrecked -Sold to Carmax 96 Jeep Cherokee Country ATX 4.0L I6 4x2. -K&N FIPK cold air intake -Jardine cat back exhaust -APC halogen H-4 diamond series headlights w/sylvania cool blues 99 Dodge Avenger Sport ATX 2.5L V6. -K&N drop in air filter -http://www.Asog.net/ Sort of like Contour.org but for Avenger fans.
