Questions about the Tracker Air Intake
« on: February 07, 2008, 08:53:11 PM »
1. Does anyone know the part number for the STOCK air filter from a 96 tracker?
(Once I got brake pads and they got me the ones for a 96
and for some reason it didnt fit so I just want to make sure)


2. And what purpose does the "vaccuum reservoir" serve?
(the copper thing on the intake tube)
If I want to fab a new tube can I use just any chamber or are the dimensions important as well?

I think that copper pimple is really just a noise suppressor. I looked at it tonight when I installed a new valve cover gasket as I had it sitting on a bench.

If the filter for a '96 is the same as a '95, I can get you a PN. It is for a Hastings fliter but if you go to a Napa or decent auto parts store you can get it cross referenced to what you can get.

Post it up. Any idea is a good one. It might sound stupid to yourself but some one may see it as what they were looking for.

And let the negitive comments on your ideas/thoughts slide off of you. They will not hurt anything but ego and pride.

yea, that thing serves 2 purposes
1) noise suppression ... it acts a bit as a resonator chamber to mellow the sound of the intake under hard throttle
2) air reserve ... it increases the volume of air that is *freely* available under hard acceleration.

If you don't mind a bit of noise and have a free enough flowing filter, it is unnecessary ... then again, it really dowen't hurt to have it (other than possibly being in the way of something else you may wanna mount in there ...
