Make sure resonance flaps on the intake are connected and working properly - this was the key for my car

With attention to these areas, you'll have yourself a regular Swamp Rat.
Connerm,

These resonance flaps, I see the vac hose going to them. How do they work? What is their purpose?

I can mighty vac them and make sure they move when i clean the intake. But when should they be getting vacuum from the system?

Thanks
