Ripping out that annoying resonator box!

**GucciSir** · 22-05-2012 04:24 PM

Ok guys,

So i recieved my new CAI in the mail today for my 94 DC4. ripped out the stock piping to the throttle body and the original air box. All thats left to do is rip out the bottom aka the resonator box right? WRONG WRONG. I have unscrewed the two bolts holding it in and have been manuvering out for the past 30 minutes now...... no progress what so ever. it just wont come out. Is their a way of doing this without ripping of the front bar? i dont feel confortable doing that. there only two bolts holding it in right? in willing to get a hack saw out and shredding it off if nothing else.

Any input would be appreciated

You need to take off the front bar, it will be easier, there are bolts from the bottom as well, not only the ones you see in your bay. I took one out a few weeks ago

All the best

Gilbert.

Jack your car up and take undo your drivers side splash guard.

Then take it out from the bottom

Screws on top of bumper when you open hood

Bolts on the side holding the fender and bumper together/ splash guards

Bolts on the bottom under the bumper

You might have to look if lights/ indicators are attached aswell

No need to take off front bumper, even though itll be easier but way too much work...

Theres three bolts...two easily visible when u get under the car and a third one right up towards the top near the splash guard.

As dc2r-0636 said taking off the guard may make things easier or extensions and rachet!

Good Luck!

I did this method aswell, just make sure your wheel is full locked in. Heaps easier.

That helps aswell, forgot to mention I took my drivers side wheel off lol
