 if u are talking about taking off the second canister after the MAFS dont do it. your car wont start up and then it wont hold its idle if it starts. u would idle at like 200 rpm and dies rite away

Life is hard!! deal with it how ever you can! you do what you can and thats the bottom line.

 I've heard of removing a silencer in a stock intake to make it sound a little better. I couldn't find any good DIYs on it, but it probably is not worth it. If you are just looking for a cheap solution to make your car sound louder you can buy cheap tubing on ebay and a cheap cone at WalMart and make your own short ram intake. The only problem is getting the MAS to work with it. Better off saving a few bucks and getting an intake from companies like K&N and Ingen.

 the one that goes into the bumper after the box can be removed. just look to where it goes its 1 huge plastic screw. sure its louder but you have a huge empty hole going into ur air box. if u want volume, get an ebay short ram

Not sure where you got this information but a few users on this site have the silencer removed with absolutely no issues. It does not effect MAF sensor readings (since it's after the sensor anyways) and only closes off a dead air section in the intake.

It's safe to remove the silencer.


Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.
