Default Intake resonator

I remember reading a while ago, a thread about blow off valves, and that if you want a bit off noise, without the extra issues (and cost) that can come with buying and fitting a blow off valve, it said about removing the resonator from the intake.

Anyone have a link to the thread, I did search for it, and spent the best part of 40min trying to find it, and couldnt.

Or, someone have the instructions for the removal of the resonator from a 02wrx or, willing to help me to do it.

Cheers

The resonator is behind the front drivers side quarter panel. You need to remove the guard liner to get at it.

But a pruning saw soon took care of it aye Will

Makes a massive difference to induction noise, I honestly couldn't believe it, and given that its free its certainly worthwhile if your into that sorta thing.

EDIT: We basically followed this guide:

clicky

But its pretty easy just to figure out as you go along

yeh man.. should be in the front drivers side guard.
i removed mine from the foz on the weekend and now it sounds like a vacume on steriods.. awesome.
one tip tho.. be sure to be carefully when removing the resonator.. as the air-bag sensor is also behind the guard.. tho you cant miss it.. there are a few yellow wires to it

There is no filter in the resonator itself, the only thing is does is provide a 'less direct' path for the air to flow through. The filter element still sits inside the intake box.
