Alright, I know that if I was to remove the resonator, I know this would create a much louder sound, and I know that it will not cause too much of an undesired effect as you must remove the resonator bottle when you put in a cold air intake. Well, I have a cold air intake, however, I don't feel like installing it for the time being, because I don't feel like removing my front bumper and playing witht he stupid filter casing.... so, just for sound purposes alone, how the hell do I safely remove the resonator so that my car is functional and loud??? Assumably I'm going to have to shove something in the resulting hole, but do you guys have any suggestions to make the process a little smoother or easier or safer, or something???

 

You have to remove the front bumper to get to the resonator to remove it, so why not do it all at once?

 

Uh, I didn't have to take my bumper off at all to remove all that stuff. Just unscrewed some screws and unbolted some bolts and took it out. It took like 10 min.

 

i took mine out after removing the passenger inner fender liner. took about 20 minutes start to finish.

did not have to remove the wheel or jack the car up, though that might make the job easier.

 

5th gens = fender well liner removal to get to the res ...
6th gens = complete front bumper removal to get to the res ...

 

But is this something that is worthwhile or should I just go ahead and do the whole damn intake???
