Had a good day today. Started my day with a nice coffee from Vastese. When I got home I got the tools out and performed a resonator-ectomy. I got two 90mm 45 degree spouting connectors and used those to plug the hole where the resonator was and act as a bit of an intake pipe (stole the idea from someone on the Impreza WRX Club forum).

I'm pleased with the result. As far as more power, better response, quicker turbo spool etc that people have reported I'm unsure but the sound is fantastic and is enough to make it a worthwhile mod in my eyes.

Also picked up a couple of little goodies for the car too. An Ultrex style side intake (to be installed at a later date) and an STI oil cap. Thanks to red_dragon 2002.

Have pics also but about to head out and meet some friends for dinner. Will post pics when I get back.
