I want to remove the intake resonator via the, tire removal method. I searched threads but cannot find a detailed step by step method on what to do after jacking the car up. I was wondering if anyone had pics or can tell me step by step what to do, or link me to a thread that explains it via the tire removing method. I do not want to remove my bumper. thank you

on jackstands, remove the RF tire, the screws and plastic plugs from the right front inner fender (at the top, like 12 o'clock) all the way to the front fender– enough to expose the resonator. Remove the 'bitch' bolt through the RF fog light cover. Feel for that bolt with a small socket wrench; I used a 'sliding 1/4 head type on a post', maybe 10/12mm, or so, I can't recall being able to see it. Tight fit. Took me slight increments of CC-wise movements to get it off.

I don't remove the tire. I turn the wheel and then take part of the bumper a part in my video.

at 32 seconds is the important screw

if you turn your wheel all the way to the right and get the 3 clips and 1 bolt under it should be enough room to pull the big box out.

thanks alot guys!....i took it out today morning and it is soooooo worth it. It sounds beastly now and pulls harder, it only cost me $6.19 for the 10mm wrench. That intake resonator is huge and surprisingly the bitch bolt came out in about 2 mins after i popped the fog light cover off, maybe because i have an 07?
