i removed my intake resonator today and i didnt really hear much of a difference in the sound when i rev it up.

Well i havent driven the car under load yet but i was expecting a lil bit more sound. =/

 

You're deaf, or you've yet to rev to 4,000rpm.
For anyone that does not know what the intake resonator is:




You can see the airbox, the resonator, and the stock CAI inlet.

 

im pretty sure i revved it pass 4k and didnt hear much =/

I took out the resonator but not the airbox

 

You're "pretty" sure? Then you didn't do it.
Redline is 6850rpm, ignition cut is 7000-7100rpm.





Go walk outside & drive around the block to get the oil flowing. Park it & let it bounce off the redline a few times & then tell me it's not very, very different.

 

Any other advantages than just sound? Also would this set off the CEL?

 

<sigh>
No, and possibly at most, a couple extra horsepower at horsepower peak.
Couple = two.
Few = 3, or more.

Couple.

 

Removing it will give you a few horses. I noticed this on my RX when I first started playing around with it.

 

lol you would definately hear it. lol. the night i pulled my entire resinator/airbox out and put on the aem cold air intake i hadnt done anything but let it idle after install.

lol i backed out the garage and creeped upto my stopsign at the end of the street. lol then i goosed it(yeah the technical term) and the car sounded completely different. lol

 

I Toke Mine Off And Even With A Just A K&n Filter I Can Still Hear It Made A Huge Difference In Sound

 

so you just get rid of everything before the box?

 

yup the crap from the end of the box down inside the fender front bumper area.
