It's not going to make any difference as far as Horsepower is concerned...just going to sound louder, right? For sound and horsepower, get an intake

I am pretty sude you just remove the resonator chamber and run a PVC pipe between the air filter and extension tube.

Better yet, make a home made short ram, should run you like $50 with PVC and a K and N cone filter, this way you get the most out of your turbo

The entire intake system is made to maximize airflow. Taking off the resonator will mess that up and also allow hotter air into the engine.

Removing your intake resonator:

i don't recomend it because like he ^ said it will get more hot air into the engine. Hot air = not too good for power. Thats why the fipk has that heatsheild like thingy to block some of the hot air from directly getting sucked in.

gearbox, would this affect catbacks as well? i have a hayame catback with a resonator but i took it off because it was too quiet so i had a muffler shop make a bolt on pipe to replace the resonator?

This is a thread about the intake. Taking off your resonator on your exhuast does not hurt it. It just makes it louder. Has nothing to do with adding heat.

Actually, certain parts of the exhaust affect backpressure, but I don't think the resonator is on eof those. I changed the muffler and could feel the car bog at certain rpms. But now the stock one is doing it. Again, this isn't a huge deal with the exhaust.
