- Helps your Nissan engine run efficiently
- Reduces engine air intake noise
- Should not be removed as it may reduce horsepower
The Engine Air Intake Resonator's job is to work as an expansion chamber. The resonator is situated beside or within your vehicle's intake pipe. It's important for your vehicle's air intake system. This part helps your engine run more efficiently while dampening its loud noises.
Different Nissans come equipped with different kinds of Engine Air Intake Resonators. There are in-line resonators and side branch resonators. While in-line resonators are embedded into the intake tube, side branch resonators are located beside the intake tube. This Engine Air Intake Resonator is the right type for Nissan Sentra 2013-2018.
Some drivers remove this component in an effort to modify their car, boost horsepower, and increase engine noise. Unfortunately, though, taking out the Engine Air Intake Resonator could actually do the opposite to your Nissan. Your Engine Air Intake Resonator works by restricting the pressure waves emitted from your engine's cylinder. These "waves" can cause increased air pressure in the engine, which in turn restricts airflow.
The air intake resonator dissipates the "waves" from the engine and lowers intake noise. In turn, the intake tube is able to maintain a steady airflow stream to boost horsepower. By taking out an Engine Air Intake Resonator, the airflow, which is responsible for increasing horsepower, is limited. The effect — potentially lower engine efficiency and louder drives.
If your Engine Air Intake Resonator gets damaged, consider ordering a new one right away. Make sure you order the correct type of resonator for your Nissan year and trim. Purchase quality OEM engine parts from Nissan Parts to ensure your new Engine Air Intake Resonator fits your vehicle.
