    So really..
    A waste of space lol
    No, it is a chamber to reduce resonance in the inlet system, they are on the vast majority of cars and are there to keep them quiet. You could remove it an the worst that would happen was that you might find a drone at a certain RPM and throttle opening. Google automotive resonance chamber for lots of info.

    I have a suspicion it stays with injected gas and goes with a mixer. Interesting because I'm ripping my gas out in a few weeks and wonder if I'll have to get one

    Have seen them on eBay, and they are expensive as. Some cheap Chinese junk ones are cheaper but are they really worth it.

    Might need to ask who ever you get your gas system de-certified, whether he wants it full factory or will pass it without the pipe. Guy I spoke to wants full factory.

    Yeah will find out in a few days. At this stage looks like he doesn't care but will wait and see

    I have the mixer system of LPG and it's still there on mine. The LPG gets mixed with the air after that mysterious box.
