Showed my WAI setup to my mechanic and for once he didn't think I was crazy (our winters are pretty cold). He thinks that I may simply be sucking off all the heat that the relatively low surface area...

Took it for a questionably necessary errand run and I did gain a few degrees: peak of 141 F with an ambient of 68 F, but that was after a very long hill climb after getting fully up to temperature....

As expected covering the tiny hole in the resonator had no impact. I'm going to poke around under the fuse box and battery and see if I can slip some insulation in there so that it's either invisible...

A much stronger and more thorough blower test came to the same conclusion: only the box with the tiny hole, which I'm assuming is the resonator. So now I need to figure out why the temperatures are...

Got the right angle extension added on (surprisingly complicated part) and used furnace cement to seal it all, then installed it. For now I've removed the vent disc and duct taped over the holes....
