Air Intake For V6 Sportivo Query

[V(Sportivo)6]

Heyas,

I will be changing the paper air filter to a K&N panel.......and maybe altering the collection of air. Looking at the existing snorkel it also channels to a chamber in the guard behind the fog lamp.

Is air being collected from this chamber....and maybe the hot air comes out of the snorkel....or both?

Can anyone enlighten me on these split pipes before the main intake?

im not entirely sure why that chamber thing is there either...

but i know that all the snorkel pipes connected to it, are intake pipes, the one behind the foglight and the one next to the battery, are all taking air in ;)

these pipes probably could be repositioned better i guess

From what i've seen in my Camry. The Snorkel intake goes in > splits into two > the top opens at high RPMs by ACIS or some vacuum thing > the bottom goes to a vacuum box or this white box > filter > into TB. It only takes in air from one place which is the snorkel.

I've had a closer look at the box....unclipping the undercarrage cover. It seems to be a chamber maybe to hold cooler air ....ie an air pocket reserve.

The snorkel seems to be the main and only intake....from observations below and above(with torch)..........guess I know where to tap into the air box :D
