Does anyone have a link for a pic or parts? Sounds like an appropriate mod.

The primary purpose of that resonator on an LS3 is to improve volumetric efficiency. Hemholtz resonators do alter sound, but that is secondary. It was added to the LS3 because of the peculiarities of its intake/head design and airflow is different than the LS7 which didn't benefit from it. Removing it on an LS3 reduces torque and impacts backflow over the MAF on stock engines. There is a lot of engineering behind it on LS3s.

I put a ls7 intake on my 11 GS, on the long run I ran into surging and bucking in low speeds like in heavy traffic. Finally decided to put back the original one back on and I no longer have the problem.
