To my mod? Yes it sounds louder because the intake resinator was removed. It’s defenatly more REV happy and the acceleration is honestly a large improvemt. Im not saying i gain like 30% more HP but the car does feel more peppy. ---

well, i cut the bottom off of the airbox, but i left the backside on so i could run that stock plactic tube from the fender on. It sounds mean from inside the car, at WOT at 4000k to redline all i can hear is a roar coming from the engine, and the best part is i can’t hear the exhaust leak over it 😃 ---

> [@evilcore](#): > > so just remove the piping connecting the airbox to the intake in the fender? That pipe is the so-called “y-pipe” that also connects to the intake resonator below. Take that out, then cut some 1" wide slits inbetween the support lines in the front of the lower section of the airbox. That’s what I did and it made a really big difference, both in sound and throttle response. ---
