Removing Resonator On Classic

[jim dbm]

hi, after having my car mapped by andy f he told me to remove the snorkel/resonator on my classic to improve performance, ive bought the blanking plate for the inner wing from subaru just wondering if anyone else has done this to their classic and what the outcome was, obviously andy knows his stuff so trust him.

I took mines off, well ratther Hypertech did.

Was part of map so hard to tell what difference really was but certainly sounded a lot better as could hear the air being sucked in more than you could the turbo wine!

I've taken mine off by Andy's instruction, not too hard a job...

IIRC

Screw off the bit under the bonnet and discard this,

Unclip most of your wheel arch liner,

Unscrew the bar that obstructs the snorkel, (you will see this after you move the wheel arch liner out of the way)

then simply remove snorkel.

I found it a bit fiddly, mainly because i didnt remove that bar (strip of metal) soon enough, wont come out otherwise.

Screw the bar back in, replace the wheel arch liner and place your blanking plate in the hole.

Sounds better as you hear the air sooking more and a little spooling too!
