I tried tonight removing my brother's 2000 Civic EX's intake resonator tonight.

Okay the intake is basically a few pieces. First of all there is the tubing that comes from the top of the engine where the intake starts. This comes down into a 2-piece air box. The black plastic box on the right has the air filter, and a box underneath the filter, the black plastic box on the left doesnt, and underneath both there is the U-shaped tubing.

Which can you safely remove from the stock intake?

THANKS!

You can remove that ushaped black plastic piece that is connected to another small black box behind the front bumper.

You can remove everything to make room for a cold-air intake. Simply unplug your sensor hard lines from the intake arm right before it connects to the intake manifold. Then start unbolting the airbox. There should be two bolts up top and one on the side, behind the bumper. Simply turn the passenger wheel out, unscrew the wheel lining, pull it back and go for that bolt. The airbox should pull straight up, leaving your resonator still in. Take out a few clips on the underlining, pull them back, and your resonator can be worked out the bottom.
