Also towards the end you'll see me doing a fitment test on a type s front lip

took me about 10 minutes to do everything

Aren't you afraid that without the clips the bumper will fall off...?

 

no. im at 15k miles and it hasnt fallen off. sometimes i just put the 4 clips on top of the grill

 

Wow, I don't think I could drive knowing that my bumper isn't securely fastened, but I guess that's just me

 

lol man, u made that look really easy!

lol and i too, will be buged if not all of my clips are in lol. but i guess since ur doing so much bumper work all the time, leaving the clips out help saves a lot of time

good sht.

 

why is this done to cars what does it do after removal ?>

 

releases the air and noise restriction.

after the removal, the car sounds like it has a cold air intake at 4-5k RPM

i did it just because i like how the car sounds meaner. i didnt do it for performance gains.

 

Does it actually give an performance gain?

 

i wouldnt know. its a free and simple mod.

someone would have to take it to a dyno to get an accurate answer

 

So it doesnt fuck up the car whts so ever?
And it doesnt have any screws holding it in...if not can i put screws in to hold it in place

 

so far so good.

its being held up by the upper part of the intake.

 

can you post a video to show how it would sound without the resonator...

As far as performance gains go, you probably lost some low end and maybe just maybe gained some top end.

 

Looking to do this on my 3g tl .. is it thing …or is it done differently ?

 

Here's a video my friend posted up of his CU2:

hey man what tools did you use i plan on doing this tomorrow morning. any tips or tricks i can use to make the process easy?

 

you really have to pull to get the resonator out..dont be afraid to use ur man strength. Its pretty easy though im sure you will do fine

 

haha k that helps! but is it easy to remove the front body? cause i seen some of the pdfs step by step uninstallment of the body and it looks compicated AF.

 

I made these clips after I took out the rubber coupling tube between the airbox and resonator. Technically the resonator is still in but is being bypassed since the coupler is gone. I later took the resonator out while I was putting the areo kit in.

is this done the same to a 3g tl ??????? -_-

 

I like the sound of the car a lot more with the resonator removed but maybe it's just because I'm still young

 

that sounds awesome!
donny: im pretty sure its the same for the 3g tl

 

oh btw did you have problems with the hose catching water or yeah?

 

very good video , bump

 

what rims are those in the first video?

 

G35 wheels

 

Nice I did this last week. So my honest opinions, sound is definitely nice. Has a sweet, deep roar on full throttle above 3k RPM. haven't noticed a lot of improvement in throttle response, gains don't seem noticeable. I FEEL there's a loss of punch in low end torque, but I'm not sure if it's because I expect more with the louder sound? IDK..

In any case we're installing a Takeda intake next week so that should be a lot of fun.

Here's my vid on the resonator delete if anyone wants to hear a sound comparison:

 

Could you possibly repost this tutorial video??

 

Could you repost this video?
