are you talking about the resonator on exhaust system or the resonator on the intake?

EDIT: Ahhhhhh, nevermind

I currently have no resonator (or mid-muffler, whatever) and just a tiny Borla rear muffler...the sound is damn good!!!

I didn't notice a really big decrease in low-end torque...besides, I just rev it more and drive with the radio off more often now.

No, not an SRI...but still an "HAI". It's just a deleted resonator. I think it's funny to call it hot air intake.

edit: Not that an SRI isn't an HAI either.

Sorry i meant the intake resonator.....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] and thanks for the welcome guys, this website helped me with a couple installs

Less Torque, not surprised as it happens with most aftermarket intakes

I've recorded Better Gas Mileage and sound.

Anyone have one of those cheap superchargers installed?

current extras on car are (will post pictures when i have the time)

* black projector headlights with non working angel eyes, i just like this style better (use high beam as driving light, wired to wireless switch)
* raybrig low beam (H1) S2000 HID Color
* generic JDM BULB for high beam (H1) str8 HID color, tealish color, looks like cheaper aftermarket HID kits out there.
* Type-R style front strut bar
* JDM RS Grille(Black)
* OEM Mud Guards
* Shaved Emblems

Waiting for Install

* OEM Honda Front LIP (currently sanding and repainting)
* OEM style Foglights (waiting for lip to finish to install at the same time)

Future Installs

* JDM Style rims with Polish Lip 18 inch, (gunmetal or black inner spokes)
* Mirror Tint all the way around
* JDM Style Taillights (Hybrid Lights)
* Whale Tail Spoiler (Hybrid Spoiler)
* Install (dusty, sitting in no box in my garage) 15 inch JL Audio W6 but would rather buy Infinity Basslink for some space saving BASS! (Seen Basslink for $299 @ GoodGuys)
* In-Dash TV
* Headrest monitors
* Playstation 2
* Camber Kit
* Weapon-R Pro-Circuit Coils (anyone running this on stock shox?) (Being sold for $200 on Weapon-R's Affliate Authorized Dealer)
* Full Strut Bars

(Bought EX due to not liking beige interior for Hybrid.) I like the spoiler, taillights, front bumper and Antenna on the Hybrid tho. And like the light metallic blue color.

Also have 1994 Honda Del Sol as my daily driver, racer (you should see the screen sitting on my dash playing 360 Video Magazine DvD as I dust those Domestics (they don't know what hit them) and Yukon Denali for Weekend Cruising..... Fixing up car's are expensive.....

After I Finish This Civic What do you guys think is Next?....

ak can only hope to improve
I have no resonator with custom 2.25" piping + an N1 style muffler.

Well, i'm thinking of welding it back on because it's TOO loud for me. It does sound awesome without the resonator.

That's just me though..
