yea i kinda felt that.

I wouldn't recommend that you remove it. You're probably better off changing your driving technique.

exactly that. its the tube/box that goes from the intake filter to the wheel well and into the engine bay. i guess its kind of like a wai in a way. i am going to try and be a little more conservative with my driving with the intake resonator off to see what i can get from it. if i like it it will stay off if not then i will definitely put it back on.
