Removing the resonator will not give you ANY significant horsepower gains. The only thing it will do is make your intake louder and more annoying. Guys...we have luxury cars. Not loud ass pocket rockets!!!

i'd have to disagree BASISON id say its all a question of opinion and its not like it makes the car unbearably loud its simply gives the engine a deeper tone and really makes the car sound alot more powerful, even though it doenst add very much if any HP.

I agree that it is a matter of opinion...but the main reason that many of us bought the car is for comfort and some performance. Otherwise, I would have bought an Integra. If you wanted a car to sound more powerful than it really is, you might as well buy one that is that way from the factory. But to each his own I guess...
