2009 AVEO SEDAN 1498cc AIR INTAKE SYSTEM < RESONATOR >

Hello,

Im the new to the forum and would like to get some info. I have a 2009 Sedan 1.5 LT AVEO first weird thing i can only see the car as 1.4 and 1.6 litre engine online, mine is 1498 litre. Any idea?

Anyhow, my question is, the original air intake goes from the throttle to the air filter then down to a plactic container. you can see it on this diagram : 2009 Chevrolet Aveo LT 4DR AIR CLEANER ASM

its called the resonator, does it have open slots ?
if not the air intake is a closed circuit which is not logic at all! where does the car sucks in air?
I tried getting under my car but couldnt see any opening in the reasonator.

Im asking this question as my air filter box broke, so i installed a pod air filter keeping the lower part of the original air filter box hoping air goes from the reasnator directly into my pod air filter.

Need some expert advice :D

The resonator is an empty box the curves around in the wheel well. It has an opening. Here is a picture of one exposed

Maybe you should put up a picture of what you did.
