Hey all, what is the component called that basically connects to the airfilter hose to the intake.....this : <<<<This shows is a tiny corner of the air filter box the maf but the component in question connects here then to the motor. I have a black plastic bag tokeep out debris

I believe that is called a muffler. It keeps the air intake noise down when accelerating.....otherwise it would sound like a 4-barrel carb opening up. Throoooooowwwwp!

Hey thanks.... Happy Holidays
But after a little more searching I’m 99.9% sure it is the Idle Air Control

correct me if I’m wrong plz

Generally the Idle Air Control is a valve that is electronically controlled by the ECM and mounted on the throttle body. That's just a hollow piece of plastic....unless I'm totally missing something.

I would call it a "baffle", although it sounds like I'm confused!

officially: Engine Air Intake Resonator

Can I reuse the resonator? The air intake hose that it attaches to is the only thing that has dry rotted and split.

The official name is a Helmholz resonator and as has been stated it reduces intake noise helping the car pass the drive by noise emission test. And keep owners happy. It does bugger all for performance.

I don't see why not...it's only clamped on.

And once again....thank ya thank ya friendly foes!

Provided you can buy the hoses separately YES.
