Request!!: Soundfile Intake Resonator Delete

Can PLEASE someone make a YouTube or soundfile available what intake sound an SVX makes when the INTAKE RESONATOR is removed.

I hate to tell you, it sounds almost exactly the same as stock. I took mine out and it didnt make any noticeable change in tone or throatiness.

Why does it say in the link that you send:

Removing the intake resonator will lead to a more agressive sound then?.....

If you mean that mess of plastic piping inside the right fender.
I removed mine and it is noticeable to me, but only under WOT.

Here is a 1min video:

if you changed the intake to all metal tubing like the ebay cold airs you get a diff sound, you can hear the air passing through the metal.

Thanks very much for the video.
Did you install a sportairfilter in the original housing?
Or is it a standard filter.....

Thinking about a Intake resonator delete with an STI filter installed...

You mean metal pipe here like this?


Or you mean like metal pipe with cone filtered aka hot air intake?

I ask because I have piece of aluminum pipe I could make like that pic that keeps the stock air box.
I just figured it wouldn't do anything. If it will, I'll get out my saw.
