- 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 sits inside or beside your car's intake pipe and works as an expansion chamber. It plays a huge role in 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. The two types of resonators include in-line and side branch resonators. While side branch resonators are located beside the intake tube, in-line resonators are embedded into the intake tube. This is the right air intake resonator for Nissan NV1500 2012-2021.
Drivers interested in car mods may consider removing this component to increase engine noise and boost horsepower. Unfortunately, though, taking out your Nissan's Engine Air Intake Resonator may actually do the opposite. How? Because the Engine Air Intake Resonator works by limiting the pressure waves that come out of the engine's cylinder. The pressure "waves" can potentially cause more air pressure inside the engine and in turn, restrict airflow.
The Engine Air Intake Resonator slows down or dissipates the "waves'' coming from the engine, thus reducing intake noise. Essentially, the intake tube can maintain a stable flow of air and encourage more horsepower. By removing an Engine Air Intake Resonator or neglecting a faulty one, the airflow, which actually increases available horsepower, becomes restricted. The result — likely louder drives and lower engine efficiency.
If your Engine Air Intake Resonator gets damaged, consider ordering a new one right away. You'll also want to make sure that you have the right type of resonator for your Nissan. Purchase genuine OEM car parts from Nissan Parts & Accessories to be sure the resonator works for your engine.
