    Air intake resonator removal.

    The pipe elbow to the turbo
    Inlet on my 2008 CRD zd30 has cracked ang I’m looking at replacement options. Genuine elbow $395 no hope. While I can get after market elbows for less then half the price I’m also looking at a full silicon air box to tubo hose that deletes the resonator box. Any one fitted one of these and what effect did it have. I know on some vehicles that the resonator box smooths out the air flow and I some cases can actually decrease the flow because of the messy flow this causes. If you have done one and can offer some advice I’d very much appreciate it.

    No I have a choice of replacing with same but I’m wanting to go a silicon hi flow and that means the resonator box goes which is what I’m interested in. Weather it creates any issues not having it.

    i got the hoses from this site
    https://www.forefrontindustries.com.au/
    had them on for 18 months no dramas good stuff and heaps cheap compared to genuine
    for about $200-$300 you get all aftermarket hoses from the airbox-turbo, turbo-cooler and cooler-manifold
    pro is the metal pipe is threaded to easily fit a boost hose but you dont need to if you dont want.

    note i dont work for forefront
