Default car feelin heavy

Is it normal for the car the car to feel slkightly more sluggish after taking off the intake resonator? It might justbe a whole mind trip because of the added noise, I don't know?

I think it's just a mind thing....I remember when I took off the my resonator for my 97 Prelude...nothing happened...definitely a mind thing....My car feels fast when I'm alone...when a buddy or buddies ride along..dang...it's kinda slow I've been asking my buddies to lose weight

Guess what? By removing your resonator you loose low end torque...and what does that mean? Well you're car will feel heavier because the engine wont pull as much at low revs....

Honda design your car performance in mind with this resonator. U screw around removing it, u gain some and loose some.

Try resetting the ECU. Can't hurt. (i.e. disconnect battery for 2-3 minutes).

Try better fuel too. It may be too hot where you are. Are you running A/C?
