Hmmm, so the CD5 actually has 2 resonators? The most common resonator, and the one discussed by the Zoom article, is the small black one that comes off the rubber intake elbow (in the engine bay pic above, it comes out opposite the 45degree left bend in the rubber elbow).
Update, the CD5 has THREE resonators. Will post a detailed pic up tomorrow when I finalise my pod filter install. Bloody hell, what was Honda thinking?
i'll post it up
first picture top view of stock system
from this view u can see 2 resonators i have labelled them in teh second picture and taken a page from the shop manual
and down sized it, roger dodge but u get it
in neither of the first two pictures can u see the 1st of 3 resonators but its the large white box in the third and fourth picture.

Thanks Riviera, saves me uploading pics :)
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the IAR system lurking under the elbow, complete with butterfly and solenoid. The question I have now is whether these resonators are meant to reduce noise, or to improve performance? The question begs because my car with the pod intake is a LOT noisier than the stock setup, to the point when every man and his shitbox thinks i'm racing them :eek:
i think theyre for noise as it is usually loudest around 2900 to 3700
post some pics up of ur setup
Nothing special, just an intake I bought off another forum member.

... re-used one of the bolts from the airbox to secure the mounting piece, which I bent to suit.

Well worth it IMHO :thumbsup:
looks like the one off ebay, and same colour car as mine and u got same screwdrivers lol
Don't know the origin of the pipe, but it sure is light and does the job fine.
And magnetic tip screwdrivers are cool, they've saved my skin many a time, literally.

then for the new engine, i just made up a custom stainless pipe. ;)
vnice vnice, nice stainless intake.
also cant seem to find might need to search more but might aswell ask you first hand, how was it doing the conversion when needed to be changed, was it just a clean drop in or do mounts have to be moved???
just use rear prelude and everything else you can use accord mounts
and its jst drop in with few wiring headaches...
I love the racing spec zip ties :)
