Can plugging intake resonator cause problems?

**osu411yamaha** · 08-01-09 05:02 AM

I am considering plugging my intake resonator on my 2000 STS to make it easier to check my tranny fluid and air filter. Can this cause any problems whatsoever? I dont forsee any, but with all the damn sensors on these cars I always worry I am going to throw something off.....????

No. All it does is reduce the intake noise. Have at it.

Why do you have the clamp on the PCM cover, Sub?

That corner of the cover was slightly warped, so I was trying to coax it back into place. Finally took 2 flat black hex head STSM screws and, using 2 different sized drill holes, make hold-downs for the corners. Did it when I did the side-hole airbox mod - just on the dirty side of the filter the side of the airbox is cut out and mated to the existing hole in the inner fender sheet metal with a cut foam gasket. Essentially doubles the size of the outside air intake area. These things are already a good CAI, so the trick is to get a bit less restriction in the box while looking stock.
