Lower Airbox/Resonator question

Removed the lower airbox last night and now feeding directly into the k&n filter. For folks who've done this, did you remove the box only and leave the semi-j tube or remove box and tube and feed directly into the filter? Started wondering after I'd buttoned everything back up...

Seems to be better power delivery, in general. I had sputtering when accelerating in 2nd/3rd with the A/C on, and this cleared it up it seems.

BTW, most posts say to follow the Comptech Icebox instructions and remove the front bumper. It can be done by removing the left wheel well much more easily - 1 bolt and 3 clips, then just move it out of the way.

Yup, resonator's out. Question pertains to the intake tube that sits on top of the resonator.

Cool - wanted to make sure no water or anything would get up there. I did the same thing on my '95 Integra GSR and it was cool, but the CL-S seemed so much more open there!

True.. the sound is just as deep as a CAI or even a short ram. i love it and you cant beat the price It gets dirty quick, but thats the beauty of K&Ns
