I was wondering what the little black plastic box is in the tube running from the air intake to the IAC valve?

Leave it be... Its not hurting anything, it has to do with the difference between the 03-04 gt and the rest of em...

does removing or keeping it in place allow for better idle quality?

Nicos2001GT · January 20th, 2011, 04:29 PM

It has no effect on the idle, it's a silencer box so you don't get a squealing sound when it's idling. I took mine off and replaced it with a 3/4 inch heater hose and I have not had any issues.
