Flaser Neutral Newbie August 8, 2003 Share August 8, 2003 (edited) Not sure if the top part is called resonator? There is another part, as I mentioned, that goes deep down for about 30cm from filter box. That I couldn't remove. Now there is a hissing sound with the top part removed. The air intake opening is now facing upwards to the hood and directly between the side of the radiator and the left headlight. There's a gap there, and I'm hoping some cool air will come in from there at high speeds. (Will try to take some photos tomorrow) May be psychological, but as it is, my car already drives better, does feel like it's struggling less. And not very significant drop in pickup, maybe becos I light-footed. Removing the top part is very easy, just need to remove 2 nuts. Maybe you could try and let me know if there's any improvement too? For the piping, are you referring to the big hole right underneath the coolant reservoir tank?

Hitman Neutral Newbie August 9, 2003 Share August 9, 2003 The top part above the radiator is called the resonator. There is then a link to the airbox where the filter sits. Think you should leave the airbox as it is. The piping should run from behind the left headlight, right behind the left foglamp. "directly between the side of the radiator and the left headlight" You've got it about right there, though its better to run piping down the gap to directly behind the left headlight, cause at idle .... hot air tends to accumulate around the radiator area and these would flush right into the airbox. Thats where the loss of torque and pickup occurs, when hot air is being sucked in from the engine compartment. Your car should drive better as the curvy resonator is no longer there thus intake in more-or-less direct. Yes, the gap beside the coolant reservoir right behind the left headlight.
