Cutting the Stock Airbox???

I just got the idea from somewhere on this forum (i forget where) that some people cut the resonators off their stock airbox. Can someone make a diagram of where to cut? I kinda want to get rid of the resonators until i can afford a short ram intake, so until then, i want it to sound at least a little more beefy haha. So yeah, can someone post pictures on where to cut or something? I would appreciate it a lot! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 lulz

There isn't much to template. Its just inside the box on the side where the cover is held on by two screws. Pull it open and start dremeling is what I did. TBH though I didn't notice any difference at all.

Don't cut the stock airbox. You can make a short ram for ~$50 max at the hardware store and Vatozone.

I was drinking one night and had the air box laying around. Thought it would be a good idea. The burns on my hand from hot plastic the next morning told me other wise. Lol but my cuts were pretty damn precise
