anybody take out their resonator??

So has anyone done this to their 97-01 prelude??

and if you did...do you notice a big difference??

i don't have a lude, but i kno that its not going to make THAT big of a difference. if u want some power from ur exhaust set-up, jus buy a muffler an some 2 1/4 in piping. that'll be the best gains for ur motor while it is N/A.

are you talking about the intake resonator or the exhaust resonator?

oh sorry :D

i meant the intake resonator

unless you're putting in a CAI, removing the intake resonator is relatively pointless. some people throw a tube in place of it to route colder air into the intake. how effective that is is still in debate. so if your'e going to put an SRI in, you dont' necessarily have to remove the intake resonator. i would say most people do however. you do if you're going to put in a CAI. the only difference you'll notice is the sound.

I just took out my intake resonator last weekend and I couldn't notice any difference except the sound. If anything, I lost some torque. I'm planning to put the resonator back in this weekend. Hope this helps

I still have the resonator on
and when i was just about to replace my stock air filter
it was still pretty damn clean. I have 27K miles so far.
So i just tapped the filter a little and put it back on.

I'm assuming if you take the resonator off
the air filter will probably get dirtier a lot faster. :(

I just bought an aem short ram and your suposed to take out the intake resonator so I did and It feels like I lost power, what should i do?
put it back on ? it wont hurt nothin if i keep it on will it?
