Intake resonator?

[Doubled613]

Has anyone figured out a way to get some intake noise out of this engine? I know in some cars you can remove some sort of intake resonator to hear the intake. Has anyone done this in the 3.8 gen?

There are two resonator "bottles" on the intake tube between the filter box and TB. Removing these and replacing with a cap (I used a vitamin bottle cap with black tape) and then also adding a K&N panel filter will get you some more intake noise.

I've since moved on to a true custom intake, but I did start with what you're referring to.

No offense sounds kinda ghetto lol. I don't really understad it either.

There are a number of CAI options for the 3.6. Look into that option, since you do not understand the DIY. CAI would be a better option anyway, IMO.

If you search, I believe zielritter posted a DIY as to how to do the mod he described (if not him, another did, as I have seen it) if you prefer.

I can't find anything. Can you post the links here?

It's not "ghetto" if you do it right. The bottles are on underside of the intake tube so once you remove and seal them you can't see a thing after reinstalled.

Have you ever removed the intake tube and filter box from a vehicle?. If you have, then this is the same simple process.

Also, there are no CAI options for the 3.8 Sedan - just the coupe. Believe me, I would've bought one rather than building my own if there was an AEM or Injen solution for the 3.8.

I'm not familiar with any post showing how to remove the sedan's intake tube resonators so I can't point you to any DYI's, but I know I was able to do it myself without any guidance.

Just remove the tube that goes between the TB and your filter box. You will see two containers that are bolted to it on the underside. Remove these and seal them off.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures but if you want to start the process and post pictures and questions as you go along I will help you best I can.

Damn i wish their were pictures. Will this void warranty?

How did you built your own intake? I know their is an intake on ebay for the genesis sedan but it is a no name intake.

Here's an example of a resonator bottle from the Tau just to give you an idea what they are. It's basically a container that allows the intake air to resonate around a bit (like a muffler for your intake) to quiet down the induction noise.

See my last pictures in this thread: http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=13303

I used 4 and 3.5" aluminum piping and couplers from siliconeintakes.com. I cut them to the shapes I needed with a Dremel and file adn then attached a 4" K&N cone filter. I also had to make sure there was a spot for my vacuum hose and IAT sensor.

Sorry - twas thinking about the coupe. My bad. I will see if I can find the link for the resonator delete. It was a fairly in depth DIY as to how to remove and cap the 'bottles'

this is the one - for some reason I thought it was more in depth...

I have the 5.0 R spec for my intake plugs. I just picked up 2 PVC pipe ends from Home Depot and painted them black. Looks clean and factory.

What size pvc pipe ends please ?

Have you found what you needed brother? I took my intake into my local hardware, and bought 2 black rubber plugs out of the plumbing section. They look like corks, but are more like pancakes as opposed to wine bottle corks if that makes sense. I spent 5$ for both. One is bigger than the other, keep that in mind if you end up buying a pvc cap of sorts. Like I said, best way is to take it off the car and go hunting. What I ended up with fits like factory. I dont have a clean shot of both, but heres a hint of the bigger one.
