make sure that when you put the stone wall or inner fender wall back on that you put all of the screws back in. I was in a hurry and only put three out of the eight or so and i was driving down the road and it broke loose and i ran the damn thing over. Really pissed me off. Not to difficult to remove the resonator. Make sure that you cap the vacume line off when you get done.

I read somewhere recently that it is better to keep a component of the resonator and still use it, but with a slight modification. This makes for more low-mid end power, as well as more free flowing. I either read it here or on S-H.com. Thougth this might be insightful, peace.

Everything I have read has suggested that removing the resonator will cause a drop in low end performance and will not improve top end performance. The resonator looks restrictive, but it apparently does have a function. I removed my stock intake/resonator only because I have a supercharger. If not for that, I'd probably have a fully functional stock intake on the car right now.
