Honda Accord 2.0t Intercooler Resonator Delete | Removal & Review

[@nicolasjones2929]

Appreciate the honesty on the before and after. Most ppl swear by everything they buy just cuz

[@DanVilla7]

Thanks, always give my honest opinion weather It's good or bad. Better off keeping it 💯

[@TorontosF1NEST]

I agree. Thank you for not falling for the placebo effect and being honest with the mod. Saves me from doing all that work. Cheers brother👏

[@carbonm2]

@@TorontosF1NEST TBH I'm trying to put mine back in. I tried once and it was hell. Wish I never took mine out. Didn't like the way it changed the characteristics of the throttle

First 12 seconds and I already love this guy. “It’s raining, what a terrible day”

[@DanVilla7]

😂

[@cre25]

Big props for not only doing the tutorial, but recording all those tough angles!

[@DanVilla7]

Thanks! I remember this day was pretty cold and it started raining. I Had to lay in puddle to put the car back together fml....

[@ar-highrollers86]

Bro this is the first honest reaction I’ve seen with this mod. Big ups bro💯💯

[@ATLDEVIOUS]

Just did this to my car last night. Even with your instruction the resonator was a b**** to get out. I noticed a little more sound. Hard to tell as far as power still glad I got it out of there. Love the car. So far I have a Ktuner with phearable stage 3 and a PRL catted DP. Thanks for the videos Dan!!

[@DanVilla7]

Haha yeah that thing was a pain the in ass to get out.

[@ATLDEVIOUS]

@@DanVilla7 ran a 13.7 quarter mile @102 last night at Atlanta dragway. PRL catted downpipe, phearable stage 3 and turbo res delete. Paddle dance to turn traction control all the way off and just punched it in sport mode. No paddle shifters.

[@DanVilla7]

@@ATLDEVIOUS nice! I haven't done any runs with phearable yet. I have some dragy runs with just stage 2 ots maps. Video posted on my channel

[@clausehardcastle8649]

How's this thing holding up? Would you recommend that thing ?

[@jlcy8313]

I just did this to my 2.0. Honestly for as little of a difference it made compared to how much of a hassle it was, it’s not worth it. Performance wise, i don’t notice a difference but i don’t know if it was a placebo but the blow off noise did sound a lot louder with the K&N intake i have

[@DanVilla7]

I agree not worth all the effort trying to wiggle that thing out lol. I was tempted to just cut it not going to lie.

[@greggc.touftree5936]

For me what gave me more spool noise was the K&N intake. The issue was it was TOO loud as I want a sleeper. I got the Mishimoto one, and for just about the very same throttle response, it's about 40% quieter. However would you say it's 5% difference? I would do an hour's worth of work for 5%. You know at the track guys spend big money and time for 1% lol.

[@DanVilla7]

I had a K&N Typhoon Intake as well and found I was loosing power from it. I went back to stock and out a K&N drop in filter and did the trick. I wouldn't even say it is 5% louder to be honest. Better pedal feeling response wise but even though not very much.

[@GB-kb6ib]

Appreciate your videos. Do all these mods void the car's warranty? And where did you buy the rubber puck for the jack?

[@DanVilla7]

Thank you. Well a tune and downpipe technically can. I got th3 jacking puck from ecstuning.com was for my vw jetta but work great for the Accord

[@zachbargo]

if you remove the front part of the under tray and the metal brace that runs above it, it has 2 bolts on each side, then the resonator falls right out no wiggling or anything👍🏼

[@DanVilla7]

Lol where were you when I was laying on the cold wet ground. 🤣

[@zachbargo]

@@DanVilla7 LOL, I feel the pain trust me, I did it the hard way when i did my car, then I helped my buddy with his chargepipes and was determined to find an easier way😂😂

[@ShiftFaced_JoyBoy]

Haha I’m so glad I ran into this video again I totally forgot I had one installed for a while let me go check on it

[@boostedveedub9687]

I’m surprised they have not just come out with Intercooler piping that replaces the OEM one and just eliminates all of that all together. No need for a plug if a proper solution is created. 🤷‍♂️

[@mexjimmy]

I used a high desity nopren of 1 1/4” and works perfect, I put it without the hose, only with the clamp.. I like tue sound and the little quiker response!! luck!!

[@LulzChicken]

Appreciate the update!

[@destruxandexploze2552]

If you had a cold air intake that has an open box you’d hear it much more. I did a resonator delete and short Ram on my Altima 3.5 and that shit was loud. Also did it on my Accord. Not super loud but big difference between stock and the intake.

[@jeffbogard5440]

Is that the tube I see at the bottom of the air box? You know the one the leads to the bottom of the housing? If so could you just plug it there?

[@DanVilla7]

No but it does look similar, unfortunately it wasn't quite that simple.

[@tminusoftexas3224]

Man thank you for this video and doing the leg work for all of us!!! Just because of that subscribe!!!!!!

[@DanVilla7]

No problem, Thanks!

[@nelsonguevara2607]

is this really needed i have a prl intercooler and charge pipes but do i need to really put this to bypass it or can i just leave it open?

[@DanVilla7]

I wouldn't leave it open. I would either cap it or just leave the silencer/resonator on.

[@nelsonguevara2607]

@@DanVilla7 Oh okay thank you i left the resonator on just didn’t put a cap on it was just wondering if that cap was really needed thanks i’ll just leave it on there it’s bypassed anyway with the charge pipes right?

[@DanVilla7]

@nelsonguevara2607 I didn't do charge pipes on mine so not too sure if they bypass it.

[@nelsonguevara2607]

@@DanVilla7 Oh alright thanks for the replies anyway!

[@JoseRivera-li8tr]

Is it possible to pull that little hose off without removing the resonator? And then maybe use a shorter hose with the plug ?

[@chriswoods4232]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@DanVilla7]

It probably wouldn't fit because of how long the the male portion is on the resonator itself. The plug is too thick to fit in between That would have made it so much easier!

[@DanVilla7]

@@chriswoods4232 I wish lol

[@JoseRivera-li8tr]

@@DanVilla7 I may have to improvise :) Though my main reason for this is to hear more turbo spool. I love that sound but dont want an intake. If there isn't much of a difference, I may skip this one.

[@JoseRivera-li8tr]

BTW, thanks for doing this !

[@MiguelSanchez-ce2qq]

Did you ever upgrade the intercooler?

[@DanVilla7]

Nope still stoke intercooler

[@mike-sc2nk]

I agree, fuck that grommet on the intake box. So annoying

[@MAXED-TRUCKING]

My accord didnt have a boost gauge.🤔 What year is this one?

[@DanVilla7]

2018 2.0t

[@MAXED-TRUCKING]

@@DanVilla7 hmm.. mines is a 19..I could of used that gauge lol. They skipped out on a lot for the MT of the accord

[@PennywiseM3]

Hockey pucks work great for jack pads.

[@imnickcampos]

Do you get a weird vibration noise on acceleration after you did it?

[@DanVilla7]

I can't say I do

[@juansaldana7646]

You might have moved the intercooler itself I had that rattle when I swapped to the prl intercooler and it wasn’t sitting right it’s so cramped down in that bumper such a headache

[@aaronburnette4585]

Help! Can anybody tell me what size (mm) I would need for a 1.5l?

[@DanVilla7]

This same plug will work 32mm

[@devonhoover7881]

34mm I was told I’m in debate about doing it. I see his boost gage hardly goes over 1.0

I did it to my 2.0t a month ago. I think it's hit or miss. I really couldn't tell the difference.

[@DanVilla7]

Yeah it's very minimal. Was worth a shot

[@Calbenmike]

I wouldn’t go through all of that for such little return.

More hose for a buffer

If you ain’t using t bolt clamps you ain’t pushing boost.

[@tweekingeye]

Shouldn’t the Honda save you gas? If I do modifications I’ll be paying for gas more why even do it. If I wanted a mod Ondaatje I should’ve just bought a mod one NDA from the gecko.

[@DanVilla7]

If gas mileage is an issue, then the 1.5t is for you. I'm not too concerned, this particular mod has nothing to do with fuel efficiency.

[@joshuapratt55]

2.0ts aren’t great on gas anyways
