thinking of taking out the resonator and connect a pipe for the air box (the buttom end where it use to connect to resonator)to the bumper, does anyone ever try this ? will it works good ?

 

it will work fine

 

will i gain or lose hp ?
(i know it's not like i'll know the difference when it's so little)
will it be better compare to stock setting ?
or i should just get J's intake

 

i read a post that showed that it lost hp w/o the resonator... 6 hp i think...
EDIT im sorry, its only like 2 hp... here is the link.. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=178659

 

thanks but i still havent find my answer,
in that thread it says he left the air box open and he lost HP, but he never said what will happen if you connect a tube from air box and goes to bumper to get air. will i lose power or gain ?

Yes I have.

And Yes I FELT I lost power. Sorry No dyno proof.

Especially low end. Response was quicker and obviously louder. I ran 3" dryer ducting from the bottom of the air box (with the top of the box affixed) through the fender to the front bumper and didn NOT feel ANY gains. Actually felt it lose torque feel.

I got a Comptech Icebox and felt better gains. Torque feel was back. Again I don't have a dyno to prove this mod alone.

The biggest FEEL difference was when I added the Spoon header. I do have a dyno graph that shows the combination of the Icebox and Spoon header alone. I just don't know where it is right now or even if it is saved on this PC I am using right now.

Messing with the stock airbox has never netted any major gains by any of us that have tried. At least in my own personal experience and from what I've seen posted.
