20min...took me like 2 hrs on my own. removing the bumber is like the worlds longest activity. i took the black box out and the whole S shape tubing connected to it. Was i supposed to take the whole S shape tubing out too? oh well time will tell.
also...im pretty sure you can manage doing this without removing the top air filter box thing...
I went through wheel arch and a hydraulic jack + stand.
Took me about 45mins wriggling.
There is a S tube towards the inner side which you cannot see.
It connects to the pipe infront of the battery within the engine bay.
Remove the 2 clips on that pipe and you can remove it, and you will understand how the resonator is connected and the stock intake sucks in hot engine bay air as it's sitting right next to the radiator and intake manifold.

When I first removed intake resonator I took out all the piping from the filter box down and it just had an annoying deep drone under throttle. It's cause if you end the piping at the box the opening is still inside the engine bat very close to other accessories and it just bounces the sound around in there. You'd be better off finding some piping and extending it into the front guard and give yourself a cold feed. A bit more power and a nicer sound, still aggressive but without the loud annoying drone
