hey all,

I want to get a strutbrace for my TE so I was having a look in the engine bay to see how I would do it and came across something that worried me. What is the object that I've circled in the pictures and does anyone know if I'll have a problem with fitting a strutbrace over it (its right in the way of where the brace will go across)

thanks in advance

Correcto!
Tight squeeze to no drama's. Just twist the resonator (circled) so it doesn't touch.

Its a resonator, just turn it around.

Some people have taken it off so they can get fully sik sound coming from their air intake (wanker alert)

Just taken off the resonators and blocked them up with bottle caps, best sounding stock car you'll ever hear

Well you should have one:doubt: .....

on ur air intake tubing underneath in the direction of ur transmission there are to small box type things attached to it, if u remove them then place a bottle cap of some sort there or something to plus the hole aparently ur car maks a fulli sik sound..

however mine didn't so i wouldn't bother

look's like you need a normal paper filter to get the sound though
once you put in a k&n filter most of the sound is lost
but yeah take off the two resoantors and snorkle
sweet sound under load

If you want you can also just replace it with a madrel bend. Having no resonator wont hurt the car. Just louder!
