Andrew, that looks awesome!

New to the 100 club (was an LR3 guy before a deer said hi at 50mph). Went with an 06' LX470 over a 10' LR4. Love the vehicle so far! I haven't put it through its paces yet, but I'm getting a feeling it is a much more capable off-roader than an LR3.
This week:
- OME 2", and AHC removal. OME has been backordered on torsion bars, so that will have to wait (along with new control arms)
- K&N Air Filter
- Oil change. Switched to Mobil 1 high mileage, and a Royal Purple oil filter.
- Replaced high and low beams with Philips Ultra Whites. MUCH better visibility now.
- MAF sensor and throttle body clean
I'd like to make a straight shot intake pipe to the throttle body, anyone have an idea of what the black box hiding under the cover is? My search results haven't found anything.
Thanks! Looking forward to the forum!

Air intake resonator?
Not the smaller one toward the front, the larger black box toward the cabin. There are about 4 houses coming from it. It's new to me, I've never seen anything besides a resonator box before the throttle body. I'm close to just giving up the idea of bypassing this, but it would still be nice to know exactly what it does! I've posted another picture from the roof of the hood. Vacuum Switching Valve is what it looks like it says. Greek maybe?
Yeah, looks like some kind of master vacuum box. I remember taking it off for some reason and it has several vacuum lines. Seems like it's needed.Not the smaller one toward the front, the larger black box toward the cabin. There are about 4 houses coming from it.

Took a ride down to OK4WD to pick this up and get it mounted. The crew at OK is awesome and we did the install together since these are just starting to make it into the market. This awning is awesome!
