Title: N-Line/SR Intercooler Resonator Delete
Post by: Doyourbiz on February 24, 2019, 08:49:05

Evening All,

I've done a bit of reading in relation to the intercooler resonator delete/tork pipe for the SR and N-line and it caught my curiosity.

From what I've seen it's just a 51mm outside diameter aluminium pipe at 127mm long that replaces the factory resonator and seems to be a pretty easy install. I know the part is made and sold by a few people in the states but decided to get one made locally for a fraction of the price.

Just wondering if anyone has done it themselves yet and if so any comment on any changes it makes to the car as either a standalone or complimentary mod?

Looking to hear about peoples experiences to decide if and when it's something I actually decide to do.

Thanks Ladies & Gents

Unless you are planing on doing other mods.  It really doesn't change much at all..
You are better off changing the complete hot side piping.
As it has quite a bit of rubber hose in it.. Which can expand while on boost.
Any decent shop should be able to make one up for not a great deal of $$

This is the pipe that is on Sxth's website..
