Yeah, I'll sell you my old one, The only problem is that I had to cut about a 2 inch "ring" from the top to aviod that "Gap" that Chike had mentioned earlier. Just name me a price, I won't charge much, since I don't really need it......

I thought the reason for that gap was to allow water to escape if it was ingested through the snorkus. If you loook in the direct bottom of it there is a tiny hole as well. Maybe it has more than one purpose?

the gap i'm talking about was from removing the pipe itself, It will cause a gap about .5" wide to form between the hole and the Air Intake box

Thawa, the gap you're thinking of will allow water to escape, but it was primarily designed to produce an induction sound in the upper rpms...
-Chike P.S. The gap MidnightBlack92 is talking about is the slight 0.5" space between the fender and the stock airbox. By using only the upper 2-3" of the intake tubing, the gap remains sealed and only cooler air from inside the fender is drawn into the engine. Quote:

Yea i have that gap from the fender to the airbox too. Dunno if i should be really concerned about that. I dont really care...the car sounds awesome above 3k rpm's!. Was a pain in the a** to get out since we didnt take the wheel off. If anyone is going to take the resonator out i would strongly suggest taking the wheel off. It would make everything so much easier and save alot of time. Me and my friend took almost 45 mins to get the damn thing out because of the 100 different ways we had to manuver it. Then we just got angry and ripped it right out. Ya know i noticed something very strange...it used to be when i turned the wheel all the way to the right there would be some sort of resistence almost like there was something that the wheel was hitting. I now notice that steering the car like that it alot easier and it goes perfectly. Could the wheel somehow have been hitting the resonator? Seems like a crazy idea but its the only thing i could think of.

You'll need to get a saw and cut the resonator off at the top leaving only ~4" of it. I cut it at a point where the upper srew & nut are attached to the fender. This way, my 4" modified resonator pipe is sill firmly attached and held in place.
You could also find a slightly curved piece of PVC piping... -Chike Quote:

There's an easier way to get to the resonator- remove the entire bumper wrap. There are a lot of screws, but it's really pretty simple. We've had ours on and off dozens of times.
You have to remove the parking lights (1 screw each) to remove the headlights, the headlights (2 screws each, I think) and the mock light to access all the screws. Most of them are accesible from under the bumper wrap. There is one you may miss- it is right in the middle of the front license plate.

You know, 1 hour, two busted knuckles and one angry temper into removing mine, I realized that...
Removing the undertray portion of the bumper definitely makes removal of the intake resonator 10 times easier! -Chike Quote:
