Has anyone deleted the resonator in the stock airbox? or made a larger snorkel? - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Wow I just took the pre filter resonator out, and It really does improve the sound a while heck of a heap you bet your keister. Butt dyno didn't notice anything.

Nice! I'm doing this as soon as I can get to the store to find a 1 7/8" plug.

I couldn't find the right size plug at any local auto parts stores, so I ordered the 1 7/8" plug. I guess I'll be doing this next weekend.

Should I take the dog out for a walk (with the pooper scooper) or to the freezer for a scoop of I scream.

The Subaru engineers must be having a field reading this thread.

How about two scoops?

Much better placement!
Can they still get the front on or does that need a new front end?

I didn't plug mine since its prefilter. I get more air in the box (hot air but still more air).

Ordered a Maxracing duct today

(don't bother telling me about the blocked radiator or water ingestion you think will happen)

It should be safe enough on cold dry days.

I don't believe heat will be an issue and I don't plan on doing any river crossings. The 86 is my DD and I won't be throwing out the original parts. If I do have any problems I will post them up here for others to be aware of.

I covered the hole going to the resonator inside the airbox with some duct tape to try it out before I commit to drilling out the rivets. I have red trd sound changer tube, and it was noticably louder with the resonator hole covered. I stopped and disconnected the tube so I could hear if there was any difference with the sound outside the car. It was a bit louder, but just barely. It sounds good though with the sound tube installed. This is with the stock filter element by the way.
