Default 5th gen intake question

Hey Im going to be putting my AEM CAI soon on my 5th gen (96). Whats the easiest way to take the resonator out? (the one under the fender, and behind the bumper) I've heard you can:

A: Take off your wheel, then fender molding
B: take off the front bumper cover
C: take off the splash guard (underneath car)

If anyone out there has done this themselfs, let me know which is easiest. Thanks all

Mr. Brace
If you are getting a cold air intake, the filter will be where the resonator is located.....behind and below the passengers side headlight. It's a big black plastic box. If you are getting a short ram....it would block air flow.
