Yes just follow that guide, it worked well for me. Removing the resonator was my first mod too, and I didn't know much about cars at the time (still don't know much, heh). It was so easy though.

Heck, paypal me $20 and I'll walk you through it over the phone.

Ill read that and consider doing it myself although I am EXTREMELY car stupid, LOL.

Is 2-4 HP gain noticeable at all?

I am getting the K&N gold something or another air filter. It was $47 or something from Pep Boys. They said it was the best possible air filter you can get, and I would notice a difference.

Hate to ask dumb questions but where the hell is the resonator at if youre looking down at the engine?

And what does it look like? Is it a little box or what? Please explain all of this to me in DETAIL guys, almost like youre explaining it to a 5-year old!!

I just went out there and looked at my engine and DAMN! I am clueless. I saw there the air filter is. On the very left side of the engine. The V-TEC is in the dead center when I am looking down on the engine. I didnt see anything that even slightly resembled the box in the picture over @ http://www.angelfire.com/punk2/94accord/howto.html#res.

But then again I am car stupid like I said. Do I have to take out the air filter thats in there now or what?

HELP GUYS!

The resonator is in the front bumper, you may have to take the bumper off to gain access to it, I know I did. If you are that car stupid, you may want to take it in to get done! lol jk----I am by no means great at working on a car, but I even did this easily.

just a note, I believe if you're sitting in the car, for the 95-97 V6 accords, it is on the left, near the wheel well. If it is a 94-97 4 cylinder, i think it is near the right wheel well instead. AND PLEASE don't pay someone $40 for that. Find someone or do it yourself.

it was very noticeable for me...... its really loud, doesnt even have to be full throttle, as long as your accelerating decently, you'll def. hear it. I was forced to put it back, due to the loudness. What a pain to put it back.
