CU2 Intake Resonator Delete Experience

[Holy Frog]

One problem with this mod that was noticeable - was the amount of vibration it introduces into the cabin. This almost made me reinstall the resonator.

One bit of advice - the volume at certain RPMs is deafening - It will literally resonate inside your ear drum. It may not be pleasant, but can be mitigated but retaining the rubber seal from the resonator on the airbox. Putting this back made the car "better" and I have no issues with it now...
...Upon further driving, mild harmonic resonances became apparent to me between 2k and 3k which are very mild and largely imperceptible, except for me being hyper aware. Returning the rubber square seal, back to the underside of the airbox, improved this in particular. Much better.

One thing I highly recommend, is to insert some sort of heat proof rubber between the body and the filter box. This has made a massive difference to reducing the overall "noise" (bad noise, not good) and is far more stock sounding when at partial throttle - almost unnoticeable now.

Of course, you get into it - its better than stock.


Will try to to take a pic of my solution (workaround....) shortly. It was a leftover bicycle inner tube, wrapped up tight and jammed into the gap.

Hey bud, I did like a cai attachment to the box. That helped with cabin noise
