nope none

it doesn't seem that taking of the silencer will increase the hp by more then 5 to 10. but i do want to see change in the throttle response. taking it of looks like itll only take an hour or so to do tonight.

 

[cobalt123]

the silencer is the only PITA, due to the bumper but it does come out

 

[YelloEye]

You probably wont notice more power, but throttle response is better.

has any1 checked into the warranty?? if it does not void it i will do it

 

[bbrewbaker]

I don't see any reason why it should void it.
I mean your have less chance of sucking in water with it because the intact is no longer at the headlight.

i already have a K&N intake. would taking this silencer out do anything else?
its still in there because i never took it out when i installed my intake and wasnt sure if it would even matter if i took it out

I don't think it would do anything because the silencer is down below the headlight but the cold air intake is above the engine. All it would really do for you is get rid of a tiny bit of weight.

Hey, can someone make a video on how to do this? I tried but was unable to get the pin that's next to the engine out. I think seeing a video might help me do it.

 

[cobalt123]

i would but i traded my car in. if you could post a pic of the pin your haveing trouble with i might can help

Well, I can't post a pic of it because its the one way back, almost under the engine and I can barely even reach it, much less take a picture of it.

i made one a long time ago for my monte. made it out of double walled stove pipe from a local hardware store. spent 35$. got a straight piece and an adjustable elbow. the double insulated tin worked wonders and actually ran cooler than a manufactured aftermarket one. i turned it into a FWI. i loved it. actually thinking about making another one for my balt after the wedding is over.

 

[mad.cobalt]

how did you guys get the clip close to the motor off i cant pop it out!!!
any videos!??
do i need to take the whole wheel off?

 

[cobalt123]

Break it off if it's that plastic one

 

[06CobaltLS]

yeah..dont take the wheel off..its just a bigger mess..i actually ended up peeling off some paint chips under the headlight just tryin to squeeze it outa there...touched it up now though and cant even tell

 

[JLbeast]

ya did this mod a while ago, and what i remember about this is brute force and ignorance was a good set of tools to have in the shop that day.

 

[cobalt123]

nice

 

[06CobaltLS]

yeah.

 

[xxenjoi11]
