Air Box Resonator
What's up everyone I have a 05 wrx and I was wondering if it's ok to run without the resonator for stock air intake. I heard you could gain a little bit more performance without it. If so, is it good or bad for the engine.

yeah, i'm catless and it seems there's not much I can do. Yeah, I'll probably do helix catted dp in the future.
BTW...I can't smell anything in the car...only when I get out and it's running. That's pretty normal I guess

does your friend have a white bugeye with a s203 spoiler? That car is nice!
If so, i dont smell anything from that car either.
OP: Have you been around another wrx and compared the differences in output of fumes? Because i can't smell anything while i'm inside. Only on some occasions when i'm coming to a stop, where i can actually take a sniff of the fumes.

it's just the stench...I know I run the risk of going to the refs, and I can deal with that. but ugh, I can't have the windows rolled down at a traffic signal some times.
