Discoburg Supersonic May 13, 2004 Share May 13, 2004 (edited) I am driving a Hyundai Accent and i wish to remove the resonator and drive around qithout it. Will it do any harm to my car besides just sucking in hot air but the ait intake should be greater then before with resonator.

Genie47 1st Gear May 13, 2004 Share May 13, 2004 You only remove the resonator when you have CAI installed. No point removing it when you have the stock setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwoon 1st Gear May 13, 2004 Share May 13, 2004 If you do w/o resonator plus modified open pod cum CAI. Can be quite noisy unless you like the sound (which some actually do) or can cover it by playing your music real loud. During sudden throttling and release of throttle, it can also sound like a soft blow off valve's PSSSTTT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discoburg Supersonic May 13, 2004 Author Share May 13, 2004 Quote You only remove the resonator when you have CAI installed. No point removing it when you have the stock setup.I do not like the idea of CAI for the water sucking possiblity, i still like the idea of removing the resonator for the airbox to suck in more air. With or without the resonator, the air going into the airbox is still hot anyway. With the resonator it seems like air have to go through a few channels. Just my personal opinion thats all. I still drive around with the resonator though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidz 6th Gear May 13, 2004 Share May 13, 2004 the possibility of sucking water very low lah... no harm trying!! sounds great too!! generally there are 2, one big one just behind the wheel arch cover and a small one just before into air manifold... need to find something to plunge up the small one.. put K&N drop in filter to see max effect... have fun!

Normal_aspirated Clutched May 13, 2004 Share May 13, 2004 Maybe u can pay a visit to Auto Dynamac at 3019A Ubi to get a better picture of the whole idea of CAI that will not suck water from below. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discoburg Supersonic May 22, 2004 Author Share May 22, 2004 Hey guys. I am still contemplating on removing my resonator. What cons are there for this action of mine? Need all your advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 23, 2004 Share May 23, 2004 Only noise is increased. Some people like it, some people don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discoburg Supersonic May 23, 2004 Author Share May 23, 2004 Thats the only cons??? Will it be considered sucking all the hot air in??? Will it increase FC of the car??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal_aspirated Clutched May 23, 2004 Share May 23, 2004 Original designed to suck air from the front, between the bonnet cover and the front grille. Obviously w/o it, it'll suck hot air arround the engine. Hot air means lesser oxygen so more FC I guess so....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Hyundai cars the resonator is designed to suck in air from behind the left headlight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear May 24, 2004 Share May 24, 2004 Quote Thats the only cons??? Will it be considered sucking all the hot air in??? Will it increase FC of the car??? You can safely remove your resonator....what it does is just to cut down the noise of the induction. Beside by the time the routed air does into the airfilter box, already become warm air liao. There is two way of doing the CAI. 1) Maintain your orginial airbox. Remove the resonator will leave a hole at the bottom of the box. You can use a felxi pipe and channel cool air from the bumper. Dun need to be right at the front. You can cut a hole at the bottom of the bumper to channel the cool air into your airfilter box. With the orginal box in place, induction noise will be cut down. Not loud like the 2nd option. Problem is should your ride be lowered and you drive thru flood...chances of the bugger sucking up water is there....but then again....you should not be driving thru flood in the first place. 2) What Auto Dynamac does for most of the client....remove the resonator, box everything. In place uses a SRI (Short Ram Induction) that uses a open pod filter. He will build a heatshield around the filter to create a box like structure. The top is usually left open and when you close the bonnet...the bonnet will act as a cover. Cool air is channel from the bumper via a felxi hose. Good for a couple of horses as air volume is increase. Bad is that induction is quite loud...some like it while some hate it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
