It's in the engine compartment passenger side. There will be a white sticker on the computer.

Something like DUR3 or DUR2. I'm curious now weather the DUR2 is with the filter and the DUR3 is without. Haven't looked at mine yet. Got mine in November 2004.

I guess it's the silver wedge shaped item in the front left corner right beside the oil filler - my code is CDC3. Build date is 4/2/05 and I did have a trap installed.

I hate to sound like a 'n00b' but I don't even know where the HC trap is... Guess thats what I get for never caring about a car's performance before now.

I can pretty much guarantee mine has one as I was built the beginning of November.

Yes, I'm sure it does. The HC (Hydro-Carbon) trap is a restriction in the intake haose that is suppposed to catch any HC's from unburnt fuel that may come back out of the engine.
Someone on here just happen to find it in there car last year when they first came out. There was a lot of discussion on it back then. If you want to know more or see a pic, just do a search for "trap" or "hydro" and look at the oldest post.

Pulled out my HC trap today. I got my 05 in February so I figured mine had one. Took it for a test drive and didn't seem to lose anything. I didn't notice any gains either. I was only conserned with my mpg really.
