Does anyone think that running the stock airbox with out the resonator up top will cause a Check Engine Light to come on? Since the hole will be exposed....maybe a plug can be run on it?

I have removed the resonator, i havent noticed any difference but i took the cap off a spraypaint can and cut the sides off to cover the hole, no CEL light

Wow that's pretty genius. Hmmm...I think I'm going to do that. No higher throttle response or change in note at higher revs?

Yeah I tried it. It was pointless. Oh well. I wish the intakes were cheaper for this car LoL. And cool yeah the six speed is a good option in the Cube.
