took of the resonator...

[johnwc723]

yesterday, in my boredom i took off the front bumper to just take a look under there (it was hard to put back on, dont do it unless you have to!!!) and i decided i would take out the resonator for the intake (that big plastic tank in the front passenger side infront of the wheel.

then i decided to put duct tape over the actual intake and have the intake be "cold air" through the little vent thing under the blinker in the front.

i was wondering if anyone has done this, or if this was even a good idea?

REMOVE THE DUCT TAPE NOW!! DO NOT DRIVE WITH IT ON THERE! the engine could easily suck it in and that would be BAD!

[dews89blkaccord]

Go ahead and either make a cold air intake or buy one.
Your almost half way there.

or just cut the front off the resonator and use it as a scoop in the bumper, thats what I did

anyone notice any performance boost?

[johnwc723]

lol, i havnet yet, im about to "cut up the resonator" right now which will pump much more air in there!

[johnwc723]

i cut it up with my dremel, it looks very nice :) tomorrow i can see if my preformace goes up (im thinking it might when im going fast due to the pressure of air in there)

I also sealed up all other air routes with ductape, so the air pretty much has to go into the Modresinator

im excited to see how it works :)

The stock piping is too restrictive.

You need to make a short ram or a CAI

I put on the short ram (CAI being painted but temp dropped so I cant apply more coats)

The performance gains from a short ram (As well as MILEAGE gains per tanks of gas) was incredible

I can't wait to do the CAI

[johnwc723]

so xbi0s

a short ram woulnt be cold air would it? it would just be i short little pipe off the intake (that is very wide) with one of those preformace filters?

(got a pic maybe?)

thankS!
