If you have a case of OCD wouldn't you want to put the VORTEC box back on to make it look normal again like I did?

I did this a while back and I used a black paint can cap! I also removed the thing attached to the throttle blade and cleaned the throttle body.

Dang, didn't think of that!

I can now say i am a believer of the resonator mod.....True story.. I have experienced increased horsepower and better, deeper exhaust sound, while accelerating. I have also noticed vehicle has more pep and it takes less push of the gas to get to the same distance I traveled before. I noticed a small increase in gas mileage. Thumbs Up!!!!!!!!!!! 96 chevy/ 5.7 Vortec engine .... I completed mod, by caping off resonator and opening air filter bay.

and to oohunter, what thing attached to throttle blade are you talking about.

I you take off the intake and open the blade to wide open throttle you can see a piece attached under the blade. Just remove the throttle body. Drill out the rivets, remove the peice, clean the blade & install some solid aluminum rivets(you must seal These holes) and reinstall the throttle body!

What are the disadvantages to this mod? any problems this could cause?

I originally performed this MOD in 2004. No ill effects whatsoever.
