leejt1979 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm thinking this could turn out to be a daft question but hey ho... on the intake pipe there is a pipe that comes off and runs along side and does feck all.. think its called a resonator?? It's basically there to quieten the intake noise.. soooo has anyone removed this and what if any difference does it make to the sound?

WilkesyMB6 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I think the how to is for the resinator in the bumper not on the pipe that goes to the throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didjeridave Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Definitely is a Helmholtz-type resonator/absorber for nothing other than noise reduction. It will increase turbulence in the process, so it would be better to remove it & blank the hole if you don't care for (want) noisy intakes. I wouldn't expect much if any performance improvement & the faff of blanking off the hole with absolutely no chance of leaks probably outweighs just fitting a proper intake pipe. Right choice there Lee methinks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
