FYI the whole intake is stock.

I pulled the intake duct and I'm wondering what this thing on the bottom is?



And this thing juts off from the airbox, I couldn't see where it goes.



Thanks.

The first one is a water drainage area - it prevents any water dripping into the spout to safely drain away from the intake tube.

The second one is intake resonator or silencer - it modifies the intake tube characteristics to reduce intake noise and serves like an accumulator to buffer out pressure waves created by intake valve and butterfly valve closing abrubtly.

I thought the big one on the bottom was for the Blinker Fluid...

Oops you are absolutely right ...

What viscosity of blinker fluid do you guys use in your reservoirs?

Orange octane. It has a spectral mass of 5.3 psi.

I had blue butane 6w36 in there - i replaced it with proper propane 9w67 - its supposed to help with faster blinker ignition.....

This information should be stickied.

I thought it was just another drain box. It has a tiny 1/8 hole in the bottom, and none of the joints are sealed.....
I didn't even think it might have a fancier purpose

Where'd you get Blue Butane!?!?!

I looked everywhere for Blue and wound up paying way too much for some Ebay knock off stuff that I think was just diluted window washer fluid.

Ebay bastards!!!

That site is awesome. I just ordered a case-load of "elbow grease".

I SO need that seasonal air! I believe I still have winter air in my tires. Its definitely time for summer air.
