I heard that if i take my resignator off my car will have a better sound to it... is this true?
And are there any negatives to removing this part? Is it true that it can suck up water into the intake w/o this resignator?

Also, I heard K&N air filters help too, and not to mention they work great.

Just checking on the validity of these statements... thanks!

 

put an intake on

 

Do you mean the whole resonator, or just the resonator tube? If it's the tube, the only way you'll suck in water through that is if your engine is submerged...



#9 is the tube, #3 is the resonator chamber.

 

As for the drop-in K&N filter, it doesn't do much. I would recommend that you just get a Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake (for power and for some sound).

 

Yeah go with an intake from AEM, it will sound way better (especially when VTEC kicks in) and if your worried about the water just get a v2 or short ram intake.

 

V2 ownz

 

couldn't we just do an axle back with a new muffler at 2.25" on the 3.0's sinc ethey already have 2.25" till teh axle then it goes down to like 1.5??

 

my resonator is out for now and it makes the car sound a bit louder after i hit 4k rpms

 

hijacking!
If you still want the drop in, I have one for $20

 

i took off my resonator when i got the car

made the car sound really niec....the 3.0

the only prob is that you'll get a check engine due to an EGR clog, but i'm guessing if u reset ECU it wont happen....besides, warranty covers it

 

i hacked off the resonator outside in a parking lot after school one day, it sounds nice.... cool free mod

 

You need to take the bumper off to take it out?

 

taking out the resonator doesnt make a difference gotta go AEM

 

No, you do not have to take bumper off. However , you do need to pop off a few screws and and plastic rivet things.

 

i think you can do it without, you have to take out the fender liner and such. ask 97acura3.0cl, he did it for me when we had the bumper off for my black housings

 

i took off my bumper to do it, since i was getting my healdights anyways

 

I drove without a resonator for approximately 8 months and it did not sound better. The sound got louder--yes, but not better.

But just a month ago I installed the AEM SRI and I can definitely say it sounds a lot better than before.

 

Anyone got any sound clips of a V2 or short ram intake? Those are the two im leaning towards right now..id like to see how they sound, prior to purchase. That would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

 

is it resonator or resignator??

i'm just going by what someone told me... but, no, i don't reallly want to do "mods".... my dad wouldn't like that.. lol. and it probably voids warranties, etc.

 

i just got my EGR done, and an exhaust sensor was bad too, covered by warranty. if it happens again i'm probably fucked.. lol.

 

resonator, and it wouldnt void any warranties

 

somebody take my freakin front bumper off for me!! i dont know how.. lol..

the resinator is still in there.. its been freakin 1 year since i had my intake..

 

Take your corner lights out, there are four big bolts holding it on behind those. Then there are a few screws in the wheel well and it pops right off. Nothing to it.

 

if you want a K&n filter, i'll give it to you for $20 hand delievered.

and you can hear how mine sound w/ a CAI
