Im not really gonna explan anything because the pics say a 1000 words so to speek  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

Actually that's the y-pipe. The resonator box is what one of the "branches" of the y-pipe go to down in the fender well. The other "branch" is the air pickup behind the driver's side headlight.  Both the y-pipe and resonator box can be removed (after removing the y-pipe, the resonator box serves no purpose, so take it out).  You can leave the y-pipe in to suck cooler air from behind the headlight and the now open fend well, but it's also a pretty bad restriction.  But taking it off means you're gonna be sucking in warmer engine bay air.  This is why you aren't gonna get much if any power gain...but it does make the car growl a little meaner.

My Injen SRI should be here in 3 days and since I have to take the stock intake off anyway, I figured I'd start on it now.

I got the Y-pipe off, but how do I get the resonator box off? Am I gonna have to take off the fender well?

Also, I put in a 300zx fuel filter and noticed my gas mileage goes way down when I drive the car hard.  Will the Injen intake help increase my mileage by giving me a better air/fuel ratio??

BTW I've only had my 93 240sx FB for like 2 months and I'm a little low on funds for the moment, so I'm trying to keep the upgrades cheap.  So far all I've done is replaced the tc rod bushings and peeled off the stripes on the side.  Later on I plan on getting coilovers/shocks and an N1 Dual exhaust.  After that I start saving up for an SR....
