take the resonator off of the stock intake and call it a day.

Are you being serious? If so is that what you did? How did it turn out?

Yes he is. Simple mod. The resonator is behind the bumper. There should be a DIY around somewhere on it. (May be part of the intake install.) This opens up the hole at the bottom of the stock airbox. Get a good high flow stock filter & it's about 70% of what an CT icebox is.

Just to clarify, no one is telling you to remove the filter.

Works fine and no noticable noise from it being gone... sucks air right from the front of the car and you don't gotta worry about water ingestion. Best part it is free...

No because they have a vsa throttle body. You might be able to fit a base but the piping would be to small

no way I would use K&N that free flow comes at the cost of more dirt into you engine and I am not having any part of that. The stock Acura filter works just fine..

Great! depending on what gnuts decides to do I might take you up on that.


I dont think the trashed intake that's in there now is even for a CL/TL

**sorry sabohead for the thread jack**
