So which is better? removing intake resonator or drilling airbox?

[madking411]

I've got the K&N panel filter installed, and i wanna get some more flow, and i've done some research, tried to find some youtube vids, etc. but i just cant find what im really looking for.

Im looking for a ''step-by-step'' guide on how to remove the intake resonator...

Or....would swiss-cheese drilling my airbox do anything? Which one's better?

even indian riceboys like yousef spent the money on a real intake.
go to autozone and spend 50 bucks on a pod filter from K&N or AEM

[madking411]

Well, actually....just thought about it and, i am acutally gonna get a CAI a lil later on....but, i still need to know how to remove the resonator. So far, i've gotten it so loose to the point of being able to move up, down, foreward, and back, but the frkkkin thing just WONT come OUT.....grr.

WTF is the Resonator?

Intake ''Silencer''.....makes it all EXTRA quiet.

And, i removed it...car is great. I can hear the quiet rush of air/quiet whisting noise when im on it hard between ~2800 and 3000rpms. Love it.

Just spend your money on a good filter. Spoon uses the stock Honda box in their race cars b/c it gives you much better high rev throttle response. It kinda sucks (or doesn't suck enough as the case may be) at low RPMs, but you can actually feel how much better the engine will behave with all that crap still attached. It has to do with the vacuum that is created in that resonator when your engine gets up to higher revs. The vacuum increases the air speed into the whole system while still maintaining a surplus of air, JIK you mash on the throttle. The Spoon guys have a much more eloquent explanation, but thats basically it. I would have never believed it until I tried it.

Not import...not a Honda. Its a domestic pontiac wit a 2.2liter engine

+2 rep. You did a good jod explaining the hole system to him. either u get my respect. i speak from experience.

oh i forgot

If I were you I would not buy a K&N for my stock air box if I was planning on buying a CAI soon anyway. You should have just put that money towards the CAI. Get a cheap ebay CAI and buy a good filter for it.

oh yea
x17

[madking411]

i already bought the k&n filter a lonngg time ago....so its too late on that one

but, im really thinkin about gettin a CAI, will it make a difference to have a REAL cai? vs. a high flow filter with the intake suckin from the same spot a cai would?

[cactusEG]

X100 get a real CAI
