How-To #8: Remove your resonator

Q:What does your resonator do?
A:Your resonator is a factory installed device that makes your intake quieter.

Q:Why remove your resonator?
A:Some people prefer thier cars to sound louder, removing this would amplify some of the intake sound. Others would rather not have the added weight of a device that serves no real purpose in thier car

 
1. Remove the screws on your wheel well to get access to lower front area. also i dont have one but your car might still have the triangle cover plate on the bottom. unscrew this also.
2. Theres bascially two screws to unscrew for this job. This is a good time to take out your airbox (refer back to the articles page). Unscrew the first nut on the bottom of your car. It should be connected to a mount on your tow hooks. The the tricky part is to pull the wheel well plastic back a little and look horizontally across towards the engine. there should be a nut. Use a 10mm socket and a long extension or a couple short ones, and unscrew this. then just pull the rubber pieace off.(marked in pic as "comes right off").
3. Pull the resomator from the Y hard plastic tube. its done. If you removed the airbox previous to this you can also remove the Y-pipe optionally. just pull it out. another thing is to connect the botton of the Y-pipe to your fog light hole woth a tube to simulate "Ram-Air" situation if you still have the airbox on or if you have a "ram-air"capable air filter.
4. the tube in hole 1 is nothing, just pull it out, this is another piece that helps muffle the intake sound with the resonator. you should be able to just pull it out.
   

Please note this is just a baseline guide, you should in no way attempt you modify your car if you do not know any baseline electronics or use of electrical materials such as a soldering gun, electrical tape, wires, or tools. all information should not be assumed to be 100% perfectly correct.
