I just quickly tried to take it off to put on a Greddy Lower Intercooler pipe I got from my friend for free, but with no avail. Didn't really try b/c I didn't jack the car up, and I only had my head and arm under the car. Any ways to make it easier to get off? Should I just use some muscle or what? Thanks
Any tips on taking off the lower intercooler pipe?

Try pushing the silicone hose all the way up the greedy pipe. Lining the pipe to the ic, then sliding the hose over the ic fitting.

That little plastic thing on top was what was holding it other than the clamps. I just pulled down and it came off.

Cool! You have... err- correction- had one of the "rare" silencer boxes they added to the lower IC on 95's only. Finally somebody posts clear pics of it !! It should be in a museum, but definately NOT on your car.
BTW, if you take out the filter/MAS/turbo intake you'll find it much easier to do up those top clamps of the lower IC where it attaches to the turbo. :scholar:

Answer to what that plastic thing is for.
There are federal requirements for pass/drive by vehicle noise. Some of this noise is created from the intake air. That box acts as a muffler to quiet that noise. Thats it. There are several vehicles with these mufflers on them. Now you know.

I had to remove the same thing from my car, though it did not cause me any trouble that I can remember. Soooo long ago, one of my first mods. Tried to put a short piece of pipe there before I got the Greddy ICP kit. Blew the dam thing off three times, had to limp home, put box back on - no fun. Got the Greddy ICP kit that day.
I thought some Newbies could learn from this informative post, so hope some check this out.
