The Poorest Mans SRI!!!!
So I opened up my engine and felt a lil sad since my friend with a TSX has an SRI, which btw is really loud. So, since I already had my intake resonator removed I decided to go beyond that, for free!!!!
As you can see, the hole in the air box is still quite restrictive.
*I also cut along the red lines I created
I did this all with a dremel, performance difference? IDK, maybe, but there is definitely a noticeable difference in sound. At around 3k RPM you will here a nice roar. (Before, you could only get a nice roar from 4k and up)
All in all, I think this was a great mod!
Anyone else do something like this or similar?

For what it's worth, I removed the resonator and gutted a lot of the box as well, then I replaced the accordion tube with a 3" straight pipe. Definitely a poor man, but worth it.

by the way, how did you mount your front plate? Did you buy a relocation bracket or zip tie it? I was thinking about putting one on and I like where you put it.

And did your sound get louder with the pipe???
PICTURES AMIGO, PICTURES!!!
will do, but so far it hasn't affected it from what i could tell.

i used a license plate relocator made of steel, and it's welded on; sturdy!!!

Yes, I agree. But in this case, it won't decrease his intake velocity. As you already stated, skinny pipes are good for low RPM while fatter pipes are good for high RPM.
In this situation, he's just able to cut down the intake turbulence, increasing the laminar flow of the air (assuming he did a good job smoothing out the cuts). He hasn't modified his actual intake tube from the TB to the air box, so the intake velocity will still be the same.
In the end, it's just a noise difference. The performance difference would be almost nothing, until you get to the very high RPM.
