You mean the intake resonator? None. But it does make cool sounds!

yeah, it might make air flow a little better, but its not going to be noticeable.
I am leaving mine in in case I need to drive through a river.

No not the intake resonator, the exhaust resonator.

maybe if you get a cat-back.

That resonator is pretty far bac, I don't think it will have much effect on the flow as much as say a downpipe or removing cats.

save your money for a catback.

the stock muffler is more restictive than the resonator. removing the resonator without removing teh stock muffler would be futile.

also, just removing the stock muffler doesnt do a whole lot. it does something, but nothing to go crazy about. relative to the resonator, that kinda tells you how restrictive the resonator is.

I actually had all cats and resonator out along time ago. I just wanted to ask because i was thinking about getting a custom catback made for me and i didnt want it to be too loud so i wanted to put a resonator in.
