resonator box

hey, anyone here taken off the resonator box on their stock intake? if so, how did you do it, and does the car sound better? i can see the resonator box, but i don't see any way of getting at it besides dismantling the whole air cleaner and piping and taking out the battery. is this the only way? i've also contemplated taking out that long piece of tubing that snakes across the front of the engine bay from the airbox, and just let the engine get air from down behind the bumper by the battery. anyone tampered at all with their factory air intake?

I've never tampered with it, I just ripped it out - he he. We usually just replace the whole thing cause the stock filter blocks too much air. Also, Logon to yahoo messenger so I can chat with you.

i just have the air box with the hole in the front.
it changes the sound a little and helps a little 2.
i recently bought an intake so the stock crap is goin bye-bye.

We tore the front tube off of the intake on my friends girlfriends car. We just had it so it would suck air from around the battery, since it's cooler over there than in front of the headers.

well i busted it out the swazall and it was gone quickly lol

HAHA sawzall. You must remove the front bumper to remove the box properly. Bumper R/R aint that hard. Removing the stock intake tube will make a slight difference. More noise than performance

I took mine out all you have to do is take off the plastic cover under the bumper and unbolt anything that restricts it. it will pull right out from the bottom.

Whats up.. i took mine out by taking out the bumper light and sticking a wrhench in there. pain in the @$$ but it worked. sounds great - gives it a deep growl.

Is the way to go and it's cheap....$100...

I'm running the competition style with the cone right behind the Air Dam. I took out that huge fawking box that didn't seem to serve a purpose. Remove 2 screws and it's out. You need to turn the wheel and pull the plastic from underneath backwards to get in there. It's a pain but 'jew can do iiittt'

I cut a hole in the Air Dam and all that nice air flows right through....
So does the water, so I have to be careful when it rains. As far as the plastic piece on the radiator, I tryed to unscrew it, but it was all rusted up, so I just pulled it off....took 2 seconds...

I'll post a pic tomorrow....

The air ram is blurry but the air filter is slanted to the side behind that hole and the air goes right in.

I might cut a bigger hole...

But ever since I took out the box, and put the additional pipe going down there's a huge difference...

look at how i did mine...this is just my second car (for now) so i just used an old k and n i had sitting around..seems to work good.

Dude, that's very inventive...however, seems like you'd be getting more warm air from the engine bay like that....

Run a pipe from your intake manifold to the bumper and you'll feel the difference, trust me.....nice COOL air...

Almost as cool as this dude puffin a L...


:smoka:

yeah, the cold air extention is coming...i just figured it would be like my short ram intake on my 2001. cool are rocks though !
