I saw that the 2nd gens can remove their resonators. Can we?

 

I imagine so ya.

 

Mike89Acord96TL have you taken urs out or know anyone who has? If so how does it sound?

If not do you think my TL will sound better or just loud?

 

i took mine off i do have a 2.5 however but it sounds great, i had exaust for a while so i coudlnt hear it as well but i put my stock muffler back on, and when i jump on the car full throtlle it sounds awesome 10 times better than stock.

 

96_2.5TL could you post directions to remove it plz?

 

yeah let me go look at it later tonight ill have the post up by tommrow i am not at my house right now. Its pretty easy, its been a while so i am not sure on how to do it off the top of my head, so i need to check it out. But if i remember there is one bolt that is failry hard to get to that holds the box in but other than that is pretty easy ill post instructions later on tonight or tommrow.

 

that would b great, im sure there are a few people on here who would like to take theirs out and hear how that sounds

 

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!!!

 

sound good

 

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.

 

Can u give a basic run down on where the resonator is and how to remove?

thnx.

 

Removal directions PLEASE!!! I am dying to take out the intake resinator after gettingmy exhaust. The first person to post directions can have a shiny nickle.

 

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...
