That funny box on the intake just gives the air in the intake pathway a place to go and be absorbed when Bobby Sue lets off the throttle suddenly during a full throttle on-ramp run. Think shock absorber... that way the intake air sensor doesn't get all funny, the car doesn't buck, etc.
It does not have any other function. Removing it will not alter one bit how your engine performs. Adding 10 resonators will not alter it either. You will not get more HP. You will not get less HP. Your MPG will stay the same either way. You do not need to run premium gas. There will be no change, with, or without the resonator, except for the resonating noise in the intake.

[QUOTE=DailyDrive;51797488]That whole sentence makes no sense whatsoever. It's not a funny box, it's called a "resonator", virtually all cars have them. And as you might have guessed, or maybe not, the name of the box also implies its function. And that is to break up the natural resonance frequency of the air in the intake channel, making it quieter.

The above mentioned mechanic was trying to sound smart or may have know of a vehicle in the past that the intake held vacuum for... but that sounds like hooey to me... Not sure I spelled that right.... But yes it will help with throttle response and with wide open throttle. It's not much louder and it's basically the equivalent to cutting off the cat for the intake... If you haven't done it... You should. And you shouldn't have to run Premium... That may depend on what altitude your at as well...
