What's the WTB stand for?

I assume the resonance chamber is the plastic pipe across the front of the engine across to the inlet manifold???

I've seen people change them to a stainless pipe but I've read that the shape actually plays an important role due to the pulsing of the intake manifold. True/False? Anyone know anything about all that?

the little dingle chamber helps eliminate a torque dip in the rev range, apparently :)

psycho-dad - what year/engine are you after ?

Sorry to take so long to help you, I have both the resonance chambers off the NA.... have you checked your ignition leads or sparkplugs to make sure that- infact you do not have a miss?

Does this dip occur under load ( acceleration)??
