Can i remove this Resonator to make it louder?

 

That's the resonator?

 

Yes i Found listed on parts list!!

 

damn even there they had to put a resonator.. take that thing out! LOL

 

Damn...this is my first look under the engine cover...pretty disappointing

 

It is a luxury car fellas, they have to minimize engine noise as much as possible. It looks removable, just make sure you attach that hose back to the intake.

 

Are there any performance gains to taking it out? Is it similar to an intake, where there is a chance that you can increase mileage and HP but you really don't? How much is the sound change, say in comparison to putting the intake on?

 

probally no gains it is attacked to a vaccum hose

 

Someone already did a write-up on removing ALL the resonator hardware out of the intake tract, and noted that the sound gain is minimal.

I'm disappointed with the Fujita sound as well... I expected better.

 

You are all looking for quite a bit out of an intake. The design is a short ram. Not real advanced. Until there is a real CAI for us, this is a waste of time.

 

Thank you for coments. I like how Fujita sounds just tought i would remove this PART since its pointless thier and it would make it little louder!!

 

Seeing as its not really connected to the primary intake tubes it shouldn't do anything really. Even to the sound, it appears to be there to keep the pressure in each side of the intake even. I would leave it personally. The engineers that designed the intake would have removed it if they thought it was necessary. I removed all of my stock silencers and it didn't change much at all.

 

yea i removed the big silencer/resonator boxes that are directly below the airboxes. sounds alil better to me. I agree that the box pictured is probably for equalization of the intake tubes, keeps a certain amount of air "buffered" in there to help smooth the flow out.

still just a guess tho.
