Removed my Intake Resonator today. Wasn't hard at all. Did it per instructions in the DIY section. Removing the bumper was the hardest part.

Most of the clips underneath the bumper were damaged pretty bad after I got them off. They didn't want to pop out. Took me a little while to figure out how to work the clips. After the bumper was off it was smooth sailing.

Had to get an extension to get the screw holding the Resonator that was the furthest back. The resonator was dirty, and some trash on the inside. Didn't know it could get in there? Bumper went back on pretty easy.

Car sounds beastly now when the RPM's go past 4.5. Definitely louder, deeper sound. Can't decide if I like the higher pitch scream, or the loud roar. Either way, I catch myself giving more gas than necessary to hear the sound. Best free mod you can do!

 

yea wen i took mind out i couldnt keep my foot off the gas for a while. i still gun it just to hear that sweet sound here and there.

 

Yeah, sounds alot more powerful.

BTW, how are the LED fogs holding up? Still good?

 

Injen CAI with mid muffler removed sound beastly to everyone today was like WTF your exhaust sounds hella clean I want to do that now. Even though they dont have TL's LOL

 

Yep thats next. I think this is the order I want to do my next mods...

1) OEM Spoiler

2) LED Fogs and Fog Light Mod

(Not sure, I'm getting my dad to help me on this one. I'm not very good with wires, and I don't trust myself messing with my car's electrical system. He's pretty good with this stuff, so I printed out the fog light mod DIY and gave it to him, still doesn't know about it... We'll see.)

3) Mid-Muffler Removal

4) CAI

 

I love the way my CAI sounds. I didn't have to remove my bumper though to install it.

 

+1

no need at all to remove the bumper..

 

does removing the intake resonator harm anything???

 

not at all....it actually helps out with more air into ur engine and a free mod...

 

Boy

 

Sweet I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

 

ummmm...yeaaaaaa ok.....this is the second post u make with jus single words "boy" and "wow" and no input....

 

u gotta make sure u get an extension for the bolt holding it way in the back...u need a flashlight to get to it but once its off ur gonna feel the difference when hittin VTECH...

 

extension?! pffft. i jumped and kicked mine until it cracked off :p

 

....

 

after u removed the resonator does the car seem faster too or just louder?

 

it seems lighter in the front end w/out that heavy ass useless box..lol...well i can hear the "GRRRRRROWL" a lil louder...

 

I didn't notice the front end being lighter, but the engine feels like its breathing better.

It roars instead of screaming when the rpm's go past 4.5. The engine sounds a lot louder too. Plus, it frees the car of dead weight.

Good free mod!

 

^haha...i was joking about the weight thing...but that damn box is heavy though...now remove ur mid-muffler and ur golden..

 

o yeah, my LED fogs are holding up great. did you order them yet?

 

Was I supposed to remove that thing with the two tubes leading up to the filter?

 

its your car.. remove whatever you want..
