- 2005 Adventra LX6
Adventra; Alloytec 190.
I'm in the process of some minor upgrades; I've installed the Growler CAI, and it's sweet.
I have ordered a replacement inlet tube - a simple aluminium one, but now I have second thoughts.
The factory tube has 2 resonance extensions. I thought they were just for noise control at certain RPM, but now I've been reading about resonance tuning, and I suspect that they may be also increasing the efficiency of the intake by preventing partial wave cancellation on the blowback.
Does anyone have facts or figures on this?
I will probably install the new tube when it arrives and do some tests with Torque, to try to see whether the resonance tubes are worthwhile, but it would be nice to hear from anyone who has experience in this field!
