removed resontaor comments

i just removed my resonator tonight out of sheer boredom. it actually was really easy to do just 3 bolts on the resonator it self then undoing some of the plastic shielding. i can't beileve i'm driving the same car. it actually sounds like a car now instead of that crappy no noise i've had. i can't really tell if the car is going any faster but it seems like it is. i recommend doing this if you don't have an aftermarket intake.

I removed my resonator and last cat when I did my exhaust. I did go with bigger piping and new muffler, but I really think the resonator gone helps the sound

 

[mobomelter]

by resonator i meant the one on the airbox. are you speaking of the same one?

 

[Gambino]

nevermind, thought you were talking exhaust. my bad

 

[mobomelter]

sorry i didn't specify until the end.

[mobomelter]

me or tphskab?

Removing the resonator is nothing but a sound mod. There's no power gain, not even on the butt dyno.

Sounds cool, though. wwaaaaaahhhhhHHHHHHHH.....

 

[mobomelter]

yeah that was my plan. i'm wondering if my gas mileage will change seeing as my car doesn't have to suck air through a straw anymore.

 

[goldwing2000]

No, it won't. You're still sucking air through a straw, just a shorter one.

 

[mobomelter]

eh bummer. guess its time for a real intake..

Look in the How-To section. Be sure you select show threads "from the beginning" because it's an older post.
