That's rubbish! can i take it off for better performance or sound or anything?

try it and see :grinning: or better still fit a GA one and remove the similar resonator bottle attached under the pipe

I might do that eventually. But for now I just wanna know if i can take the resonator off for any gain

Well I removed the end of the resonator, effectively giving me 2 cold air feeds. Must say, the sounds is slightly better and a slightly noticeable improvement in throttle response and power (Y)
