oem intake silencer?
Is there a silencer on our stock intakes? There was one on my old Accord, and as soon as I took it off, it sounded basically like it did after I got my intake on it. Very "sucky" sounding. But a good sucky. lol. Obviuously no performance will be gained, but I'd like a bit more noise. I'm dumb like that. lol. Anyone do this to theirs yet?

Rather than pulling off the entire front bumper do the following:
Remove all push clips/ plastic pins or rivets (whatever these fasteners are called) by inserting a small flat head screwdrive b/n the head and the base of the plastic fastener. Twist the screwdrive to pop up the center part, pull it out and then pull out the base piece. Remove all plastic fasteners in this manner. Remove all bolts/screws in the fenderwell liner (7/32" I think). Note: This cover extend up under the front corner toward the front bumper. Be sure to remove all plastic fasteners and screws. Next, push kinda up and in toward the engine compartment to pull the lip of the liner out of the fender; then just pull it out and set it aside.
Start your car and turn the wheel all the way to the right. You can switch it off now, lol.
To remove the factory intake resonator there is one very long plastic fastener at the rear of the resonator; remove this one just like all of the others. The using a small ratchet with a 10mm socket you will have to remove one bolt from the front side of the resonator. To do this, insert the ratchet from the bottom of the front side of the resonator; this is where you will look to see what you are doing. Take your right hand and reach in b/n the fender and resonator; reach over the resonator around to where the bolt is. Use the ratchet to remove the bolt. This may be done just by feeling your way around rather than trying to watch it while you do it.
Once you get that bolt out, just pull down and the resonator will come right out. Replace the liner with all fasteners and screws; make sure you fit the liner back into the lip of the fender first.
All done!! You now have sucky sucky!!
