Finally got around to removing the ridiculously restrictive stock intake resonator box. Now the intake setup is essentially a short ram system, though I still need to find a way to route more cold air to the air inlet. Pics to come.

Also installed an exhaust tip lol. Can't stand how the stock pea shooter looks.

EDIT: That is, until I can get myself to dish out $450+ on a proper cat back

Steering wheel became loose. I assume from hasport motor mounts causing so much vibration lol.
Fixed that, sort of. Still need to get a proper nylock nut.

Took Takata harness out and put in a different Takata harness. Nobody would notice.

Here we go.

tl;dr - removed giant intake resonator and made a DIY short ram intake from existing intake parts.

Essentially just took off the huge stock intake resonator and used the original snorkel and directly stuck that into the rubber hose. Works like an SRI, though the intake location is still not as close as I want it to be for really cold air. I'll need to route a tube either through that hole at the side or route it from the front bumper grille. This is a common DIY upgrade for Element owners who do not wish to spend a fortune on a CAI/SRI, as the stock intake/resonator setup is extremely restrictive.





Bolted on an exhaust tip as a spur of the moment decision. Decided I didn't want to see that sorry peashooter excuse of a stock exhaust pipe anymore. Will do for now until I can afford a proper cat-back. Made sure to mount it as far back on the stock pipe as possible so it doesn't stick out from under the bumper, to avoid having my E posted in the hall of shame This picture makes it seem like it's sticking out, it's not. It's flush with the bumper.



And last but not least...

The stock airbox is untouched and left in place, the original filter is inside that plastic cylindrical(ish) compartment where the rubber hose is connected to on the other end.

Going to change the plate frames next. Trying to find a "I my Honda" frame that ships to Canada. The one on eBay says "tuner gear" on the top LOL.

Ordered new brake pads and rotors which are stocked in town.
Hoping to hear from 1Hondaparts soon about my bushings and my ASR rear swaybar.

With any luck, the car will have many new parts for Packwood NT. =(

Ooh thought you took out the airbox and have the snorkel coming out from the throttle body.
Exhaust tip looks pretty

Sorry, should have written it better. I ordered an ASR bar from another place.
