Removing resonator and intake tube on stock airbox

Not to be rude, but why the F^Vk would you want to do that? There would be no power increase, you are still using the stock intake with the resonator. The resonator gives your engine a little back pressure; therefore, minimizing your engine performance. I suggest spending a little $ on a reasonably priced short ram intake. Aem is always good. 130+ shipped. Just do a search!!!

$20-$50 on ebay is all you need.. yer not going to get any gains... basicly all you will do is clear out some room under your hood....

i drove without the resonator for a few days when i was expecting my new intake since i wanted to start early lol. didnt feel a difference, but when you get on the gas it sounds very loud like somethings wrong with the car, almost like broken exhaust. keep the stock intake intact if you want power, it also keeps the air a bit cooler coming from battery vs right next to engine. or get an intake if you like the noise.

haha.. this thread makes me laugh. If you want to do something like that, do it right. Get an intake and stop being a cheap bum.
