I think I got the concept now. The resonator is about where the black circle is on the first picture.



This last picture I took looking up under the fender. Are the yellow question marks pointing to the resonator?

You got the fenderwell resonator right. Pull the black liner behind the wheel to get to it. Yank it out.



That piece snaps off, take it off. It wont help with power, but I noticed a little throttle response and better sound



That is the other resonator. Either get a silicone elbow or an aftermarket intake to get rid of it. To find out what size elbow to get, search a few months back for Sleepers post in the Zetec forum about making your own intake.

Dammit, I was gonna add that but I forgot. Your engine will run better when its clean

A clean engine is a happy engine.

The resonator in the fender well is the first resonator, are there any more resonators?


What is the purpose of the thing pictured below?




And what does the thing circled in green do?
