Now get out there and tear that silencer apart!! You'll thank yourself!

That is the ticket, Borla for me, only loud when necessary. Silencer comes off tomorrow, I'll throw a DeLonghi in the garage if it's cold.

What does WOT mean?

And when you say sucking you mean like on the old carbuated cars when you could here the air getting sucked in to the carb right?

Wide Open Throttle

Beat me to it!

And yes, it will suck like a 4bbl carb. The sound is intoxicating. This is why you buy a 300c and not an Acura TL.

Got mine out today, the only different thing I did was to remove the bolt that holds the upper part of the silencer, then it came out without having to pull on the thing.Here are a few pics.

Thanks for the pics. That's an elegant solution.

What is the make and part number for the cone filter?

I thknk that's an airraid cold air box/filter.

About $169, not that I've been shopping.

Just took mine out today. A things that will make it easy for you to do.

You may want to get a 10mm and a 7mm socket they will remove all the screws you need to remove. The 1 screw that holds the silenser in place uses a 10mm socket. I used two extensions to reach up and remove the screw. I also purchased a set of the drive up on ramps instead of a jack stand. Wal-Mart has one that is plastic and holds upto 8000 Lbs and is only $18.74

Got mine off, I also took the long bolt out and it wiggled right out. TIP OF THE DAY:The bolt is a long motherhoochie just keep the ratchet going, I was beginning to think it was stripped. I also put some downward tension on the silencer as I turned the bolt. I hear no difference at idle, a good thing. I have not road tested it yet, will do so in the next hour when I go to get some petrol. I left the entire thing out and did not re install the intake, there is no ram air effect as the inlet is almost touching the inner fender and the bottom front of the car is sealed. I found that I am missing 3 push pins not at the fender but the three big ones connecting the front diffuser on the side to the side of the larger belly pan just aheaad of the driver's wheel. An odd thing to forget Brampton. I am getting the radiator bracket done on Monday, I'll have them pop these in. I'll keep this contraption on the garage shelf with all the other things I have removed.
