Air box differences

Hey all quick question. Is there a difference between the 2000 SSEi airbox and the 2000 SE airbox? I went to gut my airbox this weekend and i didnt see anything that resembled a baffle. Maybe im missing something?

BillBoost37 is a glorious beacon of light

Not really.

The baffle in yours is more of a wall with the hole in the center section.

Ok i saw that. So then i would just cut that wall out then? the hole seems like it directs the airflow to the tb filter. I dont wanna mess anything up.LOL

That'* all I did for a few folks. Seems to help slightly because it opens up more filter to be used.

Sounds like you are starting a modding journey.

So, I went to gut my airbox, and even after searching this forum, and reading up all I could on this subject, I found that my airbox looked nothing like any others that I could find in this forum?!? Mine was a 3 part box, the first between the intake hose and the filter, the second (middle) section had a baffle on it that I completely cut out, and the third had a computer module screwed to the base of it, and a tube down into the fenderwell (I shortened this tube so that it now stubs into the open box!). I should have taken pics, but by the time I realized that I had something different, I was covered in black gasket gunk, and didn't want to finger up my camera. All this to say, it did make an improvement, (it needed it!) but what do I have? is it normal? What is the module that is housed in the airbox? Thanks in advance.......
