I started doing this project around 11AM. i'll take this w/ pictures step by step of what i did. i think the whole process was pretty fun and easy. just took a long time. but it was definitily worth it. only thing that troubled me was that it was drizzling all day.

before i start.. here are pics of what happens when someone tries to steal your headlamps. see that piece that broken off??? freakin losers..


removal of that plastic piece behind where the grill is supposed to be.


the bumper came off easily after popping a few screws from underneath. took less than 10 minutes to do.


that's the resonator. right in front of the wheel of the driver's side.


closer shot


unscrew and yank!!!


all gone!


bumper and resonator removal. complete.


after removing the bumper, the headlamps popped out with ease.


now gotta get that ugly yellow thing off the side


i had to get my car on a lift to take the bumper off. beautiful aint it?


yeah. this was painful. the hardest part. baking/blowdrying. i had to yank it open, then popped the reflectors off, then i had to sqeeze them back together. when glueing them back together, BUY A FACEMASK!! it wreaks.


the outcome was beautiful. more pictures to come soon. it started raining so it ended this project for today. will be continued tommarow, i'll be working on my chrome mesh grill tommarow morning! and a final picture with everything back together.

besides the sweet noise... does the resonator removal makes the tl-p have more hp????

no, simply just for sound.

in doing this do you have to worry about water being sucked up in to the filter?

aaronnn

not at all. ive been driving without it in the rain. its been raining for the last three days. ive driven through a bunch of pretty deep puddles and my car's still running perfect. with that nice growling sound from the engine!

It has to if you look at what the engine tries to breathe through before and after...I know I felt a better pull when I took mine off and added the K&N
