Resinator

Not on the exhaust... I have an AEM SRI ive heard to leave the resonator in cuz it actually helps get colder air to the filter? true or not... also has anyone takin that thing out w/o taking off the front bumper or is it too much of a bitch. thx

You might as well take it out. I don't know if you need to remove the front bumper, I've taken 2 out of friends' cars (not integras) and never had to...

so its functionless right now and just taking up space and making my engine compartment look ugly (ha if thats even possible...)

rip it out mate its not going to help really if it does anything it'll slow air down getting to your filter I chucked mine didn't hurt at all nor did it help.

gsr 916, you're talking about the tube under where the air box used to be right?

you can remove it through your fender well. you have to take out all those plastic rivets (try not to break them). and make sure you do it in day light or in a well lit garage. i took mine out in my driveway at night with only 2 flash lights. needless to say it was a bitch. make sure you feel around for all the bolts you need to remove. otherwise you'll be tugging and pulling and getting no where. removing the resonator has made my car louder and seems to pick up a little better through second gear. there was kind of a hiccup in first if you put your foot into it.
