Removed Intake Muffler, Sounds great!

I appreciate the help. I think I'll leave it for now. If my friend, who did the deletion, has a much nicer sound than mine, maybe I'll consider retrofitting the old intake and see how it pans out in the 2.7l engine.

Yes that friend of yours just did the 2.5L resonator delete. I capped it with a rubber 1.5" cap from the hardware store meant for plumbing (in the section with PVC etc.).

At first it seemed to be not much of a change, but then you hit the gas at 3000rpm in 2nd gear and you really notice the difference. It is surely a nice sound. Louder than just de-snorkeling. If you hit the gas in first gear off the line, it becomes a gut wrenching intake beast.

No...its not drone-y or fart cannon sounding. It sounds like a beast taking a huge gulp of air.
