You can either do it by removing the bumper or by removing the wheel well liner.

Only remove it if you want more sound. IMO it sounds nasty. Really unrefined. Intake sounds better.

It's got a really deep unpleasant sound. It almost sounds like an intake, but more hollow and deeper.

Yes, of course you can put it back in.

It's not that hard, but it's not that quick either.

Well, I've never taken out the wheel well liner, but I have taken off the bumper. The bumper is kinda a pain to put back on, so I suggest not do it that way.

I'm guessing you can just remove the wheel, those plastic things in the liner, then you have access to the resonator. From there there's 2 10mm bolts. I don't know if that's enough or not, but someone who's done it will hopefully chime in.

1. Jack up driver-side front (3.0)
2. Remove driver-side wheel.
3. Remove mudflap
4. Remove fender liner friction bolts (gently so you don't break them)
5. Remove the fender liner.
6. Remove intake silencer.
7. Reinstall in reverse minus the intake silencer

rofl! This thread is hillarious!!

But to answer your question Safzal, I don't think anyone has ever had a setup without the "intake silencer". Just get an intake dude.

Does he mean running stock air box without the intake resonator? I've done that... it doesnt sound horrible, but running no resonator with an intake is nice.
