What he said.. lol. In a nutshell, tho? It gives you more of a throatier sound when you hit the throttle. Nothing much else.
Thanks for the awesome link J, I got "sorry no matches" lol.
If it's what I think you are referring to, the car sounds better without it but I noticed my car afterwards didn't idle as smoothly as it used to with the silencer on. Nothing drastic, just went from not knowing if the car was actually running at a stop, to knowing, but just barely.

Like this?
In hindsight, maybe more throttle response, but you do need some type of heat shield from the engine compartment.
My 'cone filter' is now in the fenderwell for a more true CAI.
That is debatable unless there is a before and after on a dyno, and even then if there was any gain it might not be able to accurately measure it. I have never seen a car pull exactly the same numbers on a dyno, that is not to say it never happens.
A long time ago this was debated as well and it was said that the stock intake was rated for much more HP then could be made with a stock set up. Only when you go to s/c etc did the intake come into play.
Here is my thread with a lot of replies and debates.

Sharon, I just searched for the most common reffered word "silencer" and that's what came up. You could also use google for multi word searches.

There is good reason to remove the snorkel part under the inner fender. It will make replacing your air compressor so much easier. It also adds a bit of a sound effect to. I left the stock air filter in place, and left the big hole thru the fender. This is on my DD. Like others I then plugged the large hole where the resonator was on the intake tube.
