So I was looking at 8thgencivic forums and found a thread about how people were disconnecting their resonator chamber from their intake. Basically removing the tubing from the chamber to the air filter box. It seemed like a good idea since the radiator hose is appox. two inches from the air-box, plus the tranny is right bleow it so water and such is not likely to get up in there.
Needless to say I gave it a try. I was goin to test any FE improvements/ decreases by the half tank. But then my testing went somewhat wrong. I found that below around 2.5krpm the engine sounds pretty normal. 2500rpms is right around my cut off limit for forcing the auto to shift unless I'm going up a hill or something. Out of curiousity I decided to gun it, since I essentially created a short ram intake. Well above 3000rpms it sounds like somebody let the demon out of my car.
Long story short I've had a bit of a lead foot lately. Although I'm still managing 30mpg. I'll have to see how it does on the highway. I'm thinking that a scangauge might help with the discipline, however that sound is addicting.
