Air intake on 16v

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

The thing from the exhaust is a heat stove to help the engine get up to
temperature faster (for emissions)...  I personally would yank it and try to
optimize the intake air and see what happens...  Take that T off there at
the least, I think that is very restrictive...

hEY Y'ALL,
Wuz up?  I was just gonna do a little mod on my air intake by putting the
intake in front of the rad behind the front grille but I suddenly realized
that it is different than my 8v.  the big hose coming out of the airbox goes
to a collector box thingy that meets up with another hose coming off the
exhaust manifold....can anybody tell me what thats for?  and also is there
any sense in changing the position of the air intake to maximize airflow?
or is it set up optimally as it is?  my 8v air intake was lower than this
and exposed to the elements...but this one seems different...any comments?
