Step 1: Locate the clamp at the beginning of the intake piping after the MAF and the clamp at the end of the piping before the throttle body and intake plenum. |
 |
Step 2: Loosen the two clamps and remove the the intake piping [note- there will be a hose that runs from the end of the piping nearest the intake plenum to another part of the engine, that can remain attached] and flip over the piping. |
 |
Step 3: Loosen the clamp around the resonator bottle and remove the resonator. If you examine it the neck from the intake piping closely, you can see a lip inside of the neck where the piping 'T's. This lip is about 3-5 mm smaller than the rest of the neck. If you have the right size bottle cap then it will not get sucked by the engine pass this lip. |
 |
Step 4: Insert a medicine bottle into the small neck leaving the intake piping. Once inserted, push it as far into the neck as possible. Leaving the bottle attached to the cap, tighten the clamp around the cap and then remove the bottle. |

Now you must reattach the intake pipe and tighten the clamps. You have just completed the removal of the resonator bottle. But why? Well, we're not quite sure yet. Some have reported a 'throatier' sound and easier revving. Personally, I have not noticed any change in sound nor power, but the car does climb through the ranks when revving easier. There have been no tests done to prove this gives any kind of power gain.
