it is barely barely visible (the pipe being black as well) but i'm not sure if this direct exposure to airflow is offset by the extra twist involved disrupting airflow
i can post pictures if you want
would love to see pics if you can be bothered! would be big help:D
good stuff :P
can you feel a differance at least ??
lol cable ties - car enthusiasts best friend!
wow, I love this thread, rep +1
I managed to take my resonator off without getting the front bar off. Undid some of the clips and screws in the splash guard in order to access to nuts and bolts for the resonator box. That + some wriggling action and it popped out.
Btw all open air filter is allowed in the great state of WA :)
Hi guys I am new to all this stuff. What's the deal with exposed air filters? They are illegal without a box? Please clarify as I am new to all this stuff and want to tweak for fun but don't want major dramas. Thanks alot.
depending on what state you're in, its usually illegal without an airbox. fastfwd says its not in WA however.
youre better off keeping the airbox, buying an aftermarket panel filter for it and removing the resonator (that big white box in the thread creator's pics)
I did his mod as per the original post and wow...simple. Took about 45 minutes all up but my air intake seems a bit loose, just hanging there. Should the chrome pipe be bolted to something? Cool sound though. Anyone had these shake off or anything? Changing leads next and adding strut bar soon.
In Qld, exposed air filter is fine as long as it is secured, (DIY bracket:p).
