um what is this thing
I was taking of the stock intake from my RXP all the way up to the front piece and was wondering what this little box that has some wires running into it is and what other people are doing with it

That is the rectifier. Cool air needs to blow on it.

I've got it zip tied to the outside of my 4" intake hose.
Go or no go?

I'm not worried about it going anywhere...I was just wondering how important that cool air needs to "blow" on it?...like when it was in the original air intake.

Most people bolt it to something. I left the stock air box in mine and no problems with no air flowing over it.

You guys must ride in some really cool areas if your not overheating that thing without air cooling it, mine overheated and set a code within 10 minutes of driving it with it mounted to the bracket that holds the airbox. I touched it and damn near left skin on it from the heat, coulda grilled a small burger on that thing no problem. I ended up mounting a small fan on it, no problems since.
