COOL! Here is what you do for that resonator.
Remove leads from battery
Carefully remove the resonator assembly from the car.
Take the connector off of the IAT sensor. "That plug thingy" coming out underneath the resonator.
Saw off the top part (the resonator part...goes to front of vehicle). Remove the bracket from the front of the car that the resonator used to sit in.
Take a Dremel or a grinding tool and carefully remove some of the ABS plastic till is gets close to flush (or flush if you want) to the pipe there.
Go to your favorite local hardware store. In the plumming section, they have rubber piping joints. You need the 3 inch one with two band clamps.
Take a razor and cut the rubber on the insides of the clamp races. In other words, you will be removing the clamp races. This will give you enough material to clear the lip ends on the pipe. Cut a hole out in the bottom to let the IAT come thru fully.
CLAMP DOWN!!! No leaks? Good. REINSTALL, PUT PLUG BACK ON IAT and enjoy!
mmmmmBUH BUYE
