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
just borowing MR VRX pic here
but yeh it does fit
i think some ppl just spun it around aswell

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)

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

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