- 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's important for your vehicle's air intake system. This component helps to dampen the loud sounds coming from your engine and help it run efficiently.
Resonators can vary from Nissan to Nissan. The two types of resonators include in-line and side branch resonators. While in-line resonators are embedded into the intake tube, side branch resonators are located beside the intake tube. This is the correct resonator for Nissan Rogue 2014-2019.
Drivers interested in car mods may consider removing this component to increase engine noise and boost horsepower. Unfortunately, though, removing your Nissan's air intake resonator might actually lead to the opposite performance. The Engine Air Intake Resonator works by regulating pressure waves from the engine cylinder. These "waves" can cause increased air pressure in the engine, which in turn restricts airflow.
The Nissan intake resonator slows down the "waves" coming from the engine and reduces intake noise. In turn, the intake tube is able to maintain a steady airflow stream to boost 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 you're considering replacing your Engine Air Intake Resonator because it's broken or damaged, do so quickly. You'll also want to make sure that you have the right type of resonator for your Nissan. Shop custom-made OEM parts from Nissan Parts to ensure your new Engine Air Intake Resonator fits your vehicle.
