I hear if you add a racing stripe to your car it adds about 20 HP to the wheels.

[AudioGuy93DelSol]

funny i heard 35+ horsepower and lb/ft of torque, man those racing strips are cool, if you have a civic or sol, look at you airbox and right infront of it is this black curved pipe with a box at the end, pull it off, its only glued, 20+ HP gains!!!!! (sounds like adds in ebay)

running without an intake pipe, and running just headers, seems fun and illegal

[CivicSpoon]

Take out your resonator, it'll add a little more air flow.

[CIVICDX247]

ok resonator would be ?

un sorry im not really one that knows much about engines and shit like that.

also any body want to buy some coil overs ?

[AudioGuy93DelSol]

hahaha thats what i mean, the resonator, hmm yea i guess the intake could be called a black curved pipe witha box at the end, i meant the resonator - its in front on the filter box. - but if you want you could just take off the hole intake and put one of those cone filters from autozone right on the intake manifold, my friend did it, its ghetto, but works haha

[CIVICDX247]

so filter only no pipe ? i dont understand,

i understand the filter and the tubing but are u saying just to connect a filter to the intake manifold ?

where is it gonna get its air from ?

[tomsindahizouse]

correct me if im wrong, but the resonator is the muffler looking thing between your catalytic converter, and the muffler...right? i think thats what civicspoon meant

there are two resonators one is in the exhaust one is attatched to your stock air box. Oh and taking off your intake piping and attatching only a filter to your throttle body is a stupid idea your sucking in some of the hottest air in your engine compartment.

oh i see....thanks for the info

[CIVICDX247]

i was thinking of using black robber tubing running from the intake manifold towards the bottom of the engine bay, and kinda have it set up like a mustang or a focus would have it set up,

what the F%&(* is a resinator ?

[tomsindahizouse]

the resinator is what they call the cheap-ass that cant either afford weed, or is just too cheap to buy more...so he scrapes the resin and smokes it. (it happens to all of as at one point or another)

[2CrX]

The resonator on the intake is the black rounded part behind the bumper that hooks to the bottom of the air box. Its there to muffle the sound of the stock intake

So i could do the same thing to my 93 coupe?
