    makes the intake not sound like sucking when you turn it off, reduces vibrations...

    yeah you can actually run a tube from where the resonator used to be and you'll catch a little colder air. colder air = good. this is actually better than CAI.

    you can use stuff like air conditioning flexy foil stuff, like they use for brake air ducts. clamp it on with a hose clamp and thats bout it. if you wanna get extreme, make a hole on the headlight somewhere and have the air duct there :p
