airbox question (with pics)

[ric1.4]

I have a 1.4 16v dynamique, and i was wondering if it is safe to remove the resonator box (thats what i think its called!) so that the standard air filter can 'breathe' more easily?

I took it off earlier out of curiousity and it makes it sound slightly throatier, and i was just wondering if it would be safe/ok/legal to remove the resonator box completely?

i did it too but you dont get much power... just sound.

so its perfectly safe then?

not too sure on that. you "might" get away with it... but i feel that it'll mess up the car

^^ agree... the panel filter is there though if i remember correctly. if you want sound, then just fit an IK and your sorted... :race:

If you want sound get a drill and make the aire box look like swiss cheess

air filters at the back, have seen a few with the resonator box removed but have had a cold air feed pipe fitted to them.
