R50/53 CAI installation and removing lower resonator box
CAI installation and removing lower resonator box
Just wanted to offer some advice to everyone after I installed the WAY/DDM cold air intake. It seems like the biggest issue everyone has with installing the cold airs is removing the resonator box. The tube/box(part 3 on all the diagrams you will find on the internet) just pressure fits into the lower box (part 5). The best way to pull it out is to pry it out, but you have to be extremely careful of the three AC lines surrounding the tube. After two hours of prying, I found a very easy and much safer way to get it out.
First, remove the two bolts you can see that hold the AC lines to the car frame. This will allow them to flex a bit more when you are trying to remove the resonator. Then stick a pry bar into the tube, and pull on the bar from the driver side and it should pop out with enough force. Then just wiggle it up and out, between the AC lines.
