So this is what I did and it all cost me was roll of duct tape and the car performs well. Now I'll wait for the fundi's to tell me how wrong that mod is however the K&N kit works very much the same excepts draws in warm to hot air.

Well I decided to remove the top resonator box, plug the the two inlet holes and the rear inlet with duct tape and duct taped all the miniscule holes on the air hose duct and it ran perfectly, quiet and economical with the stock air filter. Cold air is drawn from the stock inlet and passes...

The complete air resonator system will cost R1200 ZAR and the K&N will cost R600 ZAR and will save me on replacing stock air filters in the long run. Noise is a factor but I can live with it as long as my consumption is good and the performance is not affected.

Apparently there is a second resonator box that fits underneath the air duct as well which I don't seem to have in my engine bay so I received a quote for the K&N cold air intake system which is cheaper and I'm contemplating tossing the resonator box for a cold air induction system such as the...

The resonator fits into the two inlets on top of the air duct but there is another inlet underneath so I'm not sure what that be for, any advice.

I thought of closing the three inlets and fitting a cone filter where the air hose clips into the front of the engine and then remove the stock air filter from the air filter box. The resonator box is quite expensive here in South Africa even second hand ones.

Just to follow on from the above post, would it do any harm if I seal the three inlets and not use a resonator box?

I recently bought a 2007 Clio 3 1.6L and noticed that the resonator box was missing so the air intake hose leading to air filter box has two holes on the top and one underneath. Is it advisable to drive the vehicle like this or should I seal the three inlet holes until I've decided whether to...
