| R50 Cooper induction Hello. I just fitted a K&N panel filter, replacing the stock paper one. I am thinking of taking out the plastic hose that goes in the airbox and in the resonator, and replacing it with a flexible going str8 in the airbox, and totally remove the resonator. Has anyone tried it?  |

| Hi Nick, have thought about doing the very same on mine - I imagine it would increase the intake noise  The resonant sections can be designed in to improve engine mpg etc as well as noise reduction.I removed the air box ok, but the lower resonator won`t come away !  Good luck Nick, |

| I believe the resonator also acts as a way of catching water if you inadvertently sucked in through the front grill.  |

| Resonator is the number 5 on the diagram, airbox number 8, and the hose that has to be replaced with a flexible one is number 3! |
