What is this between the lid and the TB?
What is this thing which I've colored brown? is it needed for anything? can I just delete it and connect the lid to the throttle body?
Also... I see people say, get a lid... is this the stock one that everyone replaces?

Forget the name but it quiets the air flow. When you get an aftermarket lid the air being sucked in going wot is much more noticeable.

It is called a Helmholtz Resonator. It is designed to cancel out standing waves in the intake tract and reduce noise. What that really means is it keeps your car from performing like it should -- ditch it and pop on an aftermarket lid.

Hey all...I was to cheap to buy a new lid,,,so what I did to mine was cut that resonator off,,,,Now I used the cut off resonator (a select cut piece from it) to cover up the hole where the resonator used to be,,,Glued it with epoxy real good-let it dry rel good,,,the filled and sanded it,,and it looks alright,,,not to cheap looking,,,but does what I think is the same job now as an after market lid,,minus the better looks,,call me cheap...i am what I am,,I am a liberal spender it seems,,,ha ha,,,thats a pun for cutlass,,,ha ha,,no harm done,,

Actually the inside of the slp and all other "smooth" lids is just that: smooth, i.e., no reinforcing ribs like the stock lid has. Also, in order to have it work most effeciently you need to remove part of the base and cut out part of the separator to allow more air to flow into the lid.
