Default RE: Intake resonator removal?

Removing the resonator from your stock airbox will allow it to breathe a bit easier, and will make for a much louder intake noise under load and WOT (wide open throttle). This modification will NOT make the engine significantly more powerful. As well, it will expose your airbox opening to a bit more debris and water than the stock setup does. At this point I have not heard of anyone having a serious problem with this modification, but it will likely mean replacing (with stock filters) or cleaning (with washable aftermarket filters) your filter more often.

Resonator removal is a necessary procedure when installing an aftermarket "cold air" style intake. Resonator removal is not necessary when installing an aftermarket "underhood" style intake, unless a cold air feed from the front bumper area is desired.

I was thinking that this resonator was causing the starnge whistle I hear from under the hood @ mid to moderate throttle.
I was also thinking of removing and plugging the whole with a plastic plug.
I would also like to remove the current intake tube from the front of the car , as it is VERY narrow and reroute it to the fender or replace it with a wider opening tube and put it back in its original place.

I'd go with replacing it with a wider opening tube and put it back in its original place.
