I bought a Honda Civic 1.8 VTi recently and the guy I bought it from had an induction kit fitted to the car. He replaced it with the original air filter box but the bit I circled above is missing. What is the function of this part and how important is it? Do I need to replace it ASAP?

Thanks

 

That's a cool car. Looks like it's just a resonator part of the airbox, doesn't do much other than muffle some of the sound.

 

Yeah that's what the guy said it was. So it basically makes the engine a little quieter but does it affect the performance in any way? If not then its cool because I like the way the engine sounds at the moment!

Cheers

 

your good man, has no bearing on the performance of motor

 

any pics of the car, i've always like 1.8 vti's

 

they make a 1.8vti? i only thought it was 1.6Vti's?

For that part like already said it only muffles the sound a bit, if anythign i think it would hamper performance... but taht is me,
