Reverting to Stock Airbox?

[ibob4tacoz]

Hey guys, thought I'd make a separate thread for this question. So one of the POs of my 4R swapped the stock airbox for a "cold-air intake" and I'm pretty set on scavenging a stock airbox and hose setup from a yard (dealer still has the box itself for ~$450 new, ugh).
Should I go to stock? If so, what do I need to snag? I believe there's a resonator that sits right above the passenger side valve cover too, right? Is there a p# for that hose that's taped? (I'm assuming it's just hose of a certain diameter)

Attaching photos so y'all can maybe help confirm that they didn't clip off any EGR/PCV/sensor stuff. Thank you in advance!

Gonna need the box, the rubber hose that joins the box and silencer, the silencer itself (or delete it for an ISR), and the rubber hose that connects the silencer/ISR to the throttle body. The lower rubber hose between the box and silencer/ISR is just a basic bit of tubing, but the upper has a provision for the vacuum line and I believe is curved to face the silencer as well (p/n is 17882-62010)
Best set up is stock airbox, deckplate, elbow delete and silencer delete. Elbow delete makes the biggest difference, it's really chokes up the engine

what is the elbow delete ?

but back to the original question
over the years I have found ...for me... that the after market cold air intakes did nothing for me, plus the 4runner is getting cold air already from under the fender....unless that is what is reffered to above by elbow delete...
so I went back to a stock air box and did the deck plate mod. I took the cold air intake formed pipe and cut it to go between my mass air flow and the throttle body, thus deleating the resonator box.
As far as the deck plate mod, I have not opened it . but there if wanted. I also run a stock air filter, i have heard that even the k&N drop in filters ( in stock box) dont really help, you still have to oil them, and if you put on too much oil it gets to the mass air flow sensor

this set up is on my current 4runner, the box and intake pipe came off my wrecked 4runner. When I did the above mod on the first one, the same week I put on a borla free flow mufller. It made a nice combination and i thought I was getting a bit more power and mpg...but that could have all been in my head
