no the sealent is for in the fender to connect the stock piece of resinator going thru the hole the the new tube with intake head on it. i used sealent to hold the two pieces together. do to the fact the stock piece is to hard to use a hoes clamp on. nothing to do issolation but it is far enough away from bay heat is not an issue.

How much different does this sound than perhaps the stock airbox with K&N and Intake resonator removed....because I have that combination and it is quite deep and loud compared to stock. I can't imagine that it would be that different with the exception that the intake element is cone, resulting in more surface area?

id say as much as a diference between the cone filter and the k&n as the K&N had over stock. it relocates the sound and without the filter housing their is nothing to muffel it.

oh an other note its a damn good thing i got dayle's filter. a return hose for my pwr stearing exploded and tranny fluid went all over the engine bay. if i haden't relocated my intake tranny fluid would have gotten all over my maf.

i can hear a deep vacuum when i slam on the gas it sounds awsome. way better than just cutting the resinator. that gave me a piter patter sound. it sounded ok at the time but the intake i got now is a big improvement.
