I can confirm it works. As soon as this video finished, i went outside to my CL9 Euro, did the exact same thing and yes it is louder. but only in the higher rev range. Normal cruising sounds the same until you give it the beans. Nice mate, cheers for that. Just gained a Sub
Cheers man
That will help you stay undercover
i just did this to my cl7 accord and it’s actually louder haha, what a nice little free mod
Yeah man
Definitely makes the VTEC sound so much better. Very good if on a budget to make a car sound better! Should do a video on a CL1 Euro R. Or do comparison. Awesome vid!
Yeah man makes it sound way better - will get round to a CAI one day. And yeah! I just gotta find someone willing to lend me one
Bought my accord with this mod already done to it, saved me time and effort👌
Nice!
Thanks Man! Nice to see someone do it all correctly and providing trustworthy information!!!!!!!
Thanks man
Airbox drill mod also work really well, although frowned upon by many, I did it on my old accord with a spare airbox and it sounded amazing on cam.
Yeah man that works great too - at least the tube delete is reversable tho haha
Awesome video, had me crack up. My CL7 has to sound like that xD
Haha cheers man - well now you know how to do it!
You are making me look for one of these cars as my first car lol. Im in love with Honda Bikes/Cars. That bulletproof and sound eargasm makes you wanna get it as soon as possible... dont know why in my coutry is way harder to find a 2.4 cl9... almost everyone here uses diesel so that cl9 2.2 is more used here, but i hate the smell and the sound or lack there of Diesel exhaust note. Cheers and hope u get a ton of views, if you continue this u gonna get a big channel in due time bro.
Cheers man and hope you can find one soon! They're great cars
i have one for sale where u from?
love your videos keep it up ❤️
Thanks mate
I did this on my tsx. It sounded sick. But dude you wont even imagine how much better it sounds with an actual cold air or short ram. The cold air intake that runs all the way into your bumper sounds a lot deeper but the short ram sounds a bit louder. You hear the vtec wayyy more and all my friends think I have an exhaust but I dont lol.
Mean bro! One day I'll get around to putting CAI on it
What intake did you add?

the cl9 vids are lit asf bro
Cheers man I need to start uploading more frequently coz I got like 30 video ideas for this thing haha
@@KiwiCarLife that’s hectic as bro , keep at it . We’re all here to support you ✊🏽
@@MaxibillianBus oh cheers brah
Thanks for the videos. Because of your last video, I’m not waiting to get my cables and get the reflash done.
Nice! Definitely recommend it - makes a noticeable difference
I love the face u make whenshifting ! Smiling cheekily as u wait for that oh so sweet shift lol
Yeah true I didn't even realize I did that until videoing myself lol
Hi bro. I did the same thing that u did, to my car, cl7 euro r but i noticed fuel consumption had increased without any extra increase in power. So what i did was, i attached back the rubber hose but instead of connecting it back to the long intake hose, i redirect it facing front towards the headlamp. It made the pipe a bit longer so as to correct turbulent flow upon entering the air filter box, or so i thought. Fuel consumption went back to normal, power is there and better breathing till redline. Needs a little adjustment to the box position though. Well, until i find a proper air filter upgrade, things will stay the way it is hehe. Thanks for the idea. Indeed changed how the car responds.
Yeah tbh main purpose is for noise as opposed to performance - cold air intake is the way to go if you want to actually get a power increase
Kiwicarlife - make sure you have the engine shield on top of the front bumper, so it won't create drag/or get tangled. :D
Oh ok! I think I just need some new clips but will have another look
All fixed! Yes it should have been on the top of the bumper
You will actually lose power if you remove the Box. That Box is a Helmholtz resonator that helps smooth the air flow. Spoon always ran the stock airbox on all the CL9 race cars.
Maybe, but it sounds cool!
Is this actually proven?
Interesting to know
@@lucaking4041 Dyno testing, the lancer evolution had the same situation because of the smoothing of the air flow over the MAF. I would only use a Mugen set-up, Mugen usually improves performance, at a price!
@@lucaking4041heat soaking I’m sure. Car ECU will end up having to pull timing and overall pull power
haha just removed mine after this video and wowwwww the video doesn't do it justice, thanks man :) from Aussie land :)
Yeah man it sounds good aye
I did the resonator delete on my cl7 and it saouds awsome lol❤❤
Epic!
Crackup we used to do this in the 90s to our 1600 dohc civics and crxs ..and yes bro it's easier to just take out the pipe its sounds different ..when you take off slow then blast it after 3000rpm bro you will here it ...love the sound bro nice video brought my teens bro fort street auckland crazy cruising up for drags and car meets from tauranga and the mount ...papakura specialists you guys were insane ..was fricken great the 90s
Cheers man
Loving the videos mate. Keep it up! :)
Cheers man!
Done it in Accord VII CM1.
At first just deleted short rubber tube and SOUNDS AMAZING :)
A bit later removed whole resonator.
Thinking about custom cold air intake and a cone filter. Maybe K&N
Yeah it sounds good for a free mod aye - proper CAI setup is gonna be a lot better though
Did the sound change anymore when you removed the whole lower box or will just removing the tube give me the same effect
@@weemankylei have the same question
I spent $250 for an k&n intake that sounds the same as if i would have done what u did. What a waste of money. Wish i saw this vid before. Great vid man!
Cheers man, yeah its pretty good for something thats free
@@KiwiCarLife yes! The intake doesnt do much for performance. All i noticed was the sound louder.
But if you don’t want it. I’ll buy it off of you :)

@@anoobis745 😂 im leaving it on bro
Enjoying the vids mate. I'm actually still thinking of getting a 4 2 1 header and exhaust lol! Didn't know the ECU flash let you launch the car at 3000rpm. When you do another vid on this accord could you explain the 2 step? Keep up the good work.
Cheers man - yeah can do! Essentially it's just a secondary rpm limiter that is deactivated as soon as you start moving - kinda like launch control I guess.
You sure it’s because of the reflash? My CL7 has the same but at 4500/5000 rpm as it’s a K20 Euro R
@@glencrean4568 Yeah before the reflash it was at like 4700rpm, now it's much lower - better RPM for launching
@@KiwiCarLife who did the reflash? Contemplating doing it
@@glencrean4568 check the link in the description of the tune video I posted two weeks ago 😊
SOUNDS GOOD
Oh yeah it sounded way better once I'd done more mods to it
Can achieve the same thing by attaching a pod filter, sounds sick
Yep sure can
would swapping the stock airbox for a cone filter be the same thing? notice any change in gas mileage?
Yeah could do that if you wanted - no change tbh
hello mate have you just removed a small tube instead of taking the whole air box rez? 1) is that safe that if you drive in some big puddle water wont be suncined into the engine? 2) do i need to take off whole bumber just to get rid of that small tube? thank you
As long as you’re not doing a river crossing you’ll be fine and no you don’t have to remove the bumper. You only need to do that if you want to remove the resonator box entirely instead of bypassing it
@@tougefrog yeah, shouldn't be an issue with water, I couldn't be bothered removing the box so yeah I guess if you just undid the top airbox and lifted it up, you could probably get the tube out no problem
Great vids! Is this before or after you installed your tonaka exhausts?
Before
Hey mate I was just asking if the engine would suck in the hot air under the bonnet itself instead of the cold air if i remove the hose?
Nah it's far from the hot parts of the engine
Add some street fighter cold air in take for what u want for just tweets with map sensor
Aye?
That box is a Helmholtz resonator, not sure if you are disturbing the flow of the air entering the throttle body. A dyno test should be performed to test the results.
The idea is not to make more power its to make it sound cool haha
Will I pass a wof if I take the pipe out between air box and resonantor
Yep
Just finished doing this to my euro love it mate, just wondering if this causes any issues with the car?
No it doesn't
since u only removed the tube, do u still have to take off the bumper
Nah you can remove it from above
weird question maybe, but do you get drone doing this?
Nah only if you're on it

Yes
So it doesn’t harm or affect anything else ? Just remove the extended hose you mean right ?
Yeah basically
00:14
My stock CL9 tsx does that as well..
Holds, of rather, doesn't allow you to rev past 3.5k...
I see, yeah I think stock mine does it at about 5k, but now it's closer to 3k
@@KiwiCarLife thats not 2step.....
@@fung.4812 its a two stage rpm cut so technically it is
Doing this dose it have any down sides or long term effects
Nope
Does this work on the CU2? Excuse my ignorance.
I believe so
Where did you get your tune from?
It's a Serge Bo tune.
Check out my video on it here. Links to how to get it are in the description:

i have an auto accord euro cl9, do u reckon a manual conversion is worth?
I mean you can but it'll be a lot of work - depends how crafty you think u are wirh a spanner
Not worth bud, you can get a cheap manual cl9 if you wanna work on it as a project, they’re much more desirable in auto for daily drivers
@@dylantyler6867 agreed not worth the manual swap, but the manual ones are wayyyy more expensive here - auto ones go for nothin
@@dylantyler6867 I have an auto, and would not want it any other way. You can always add more power and it will still zip. Mine is stock standard, and there are quite a few kills on my list already. Bmws, mercs, 1600s with cams. It is not as slow as you think. Use flappy paddles and rev to 7300. Also gives you a bit more power in S mode. A cai and reflash plus header and it will kill a lot more.get the people to race from 30km/h in your first gear and see how they get killed.
would you be able to do a tutorial for a muffler delete on a CU2?
Just cut it off with a hacksaw
Just unbolt it lol
@@chrisskelly6408 Or that
do you need to replace anything with that tube?
Nah just leave it
Any noticeable extra fuel consumption afterwards?
Nah no difference
Hey Bro,
Hope you read that: i just let repaint my Front bumper of my CL7 and there's ia exact the same difference in the paint, when you take the view from that Position in 2:07.
Did you buy it or did you let repaint it?
Probably its just a phenomenon to handle with...what about you? Does it disturb you?
By the way: amazing accord!!
Cheers, yeah I have had my bumper repainted before. Pretty hard to get it exactly the same colour the older the car as the paint will fade over time. Tbh I haven't really noticed
@@KiwiCarLife ah okay. But anyway its only when you look at the bumper from a apecific position. In the sun or generelly with light theres no difference.
Hoe do you take the tube out without taking either of the airboxes out? Little bit confused...
You just kinda squeeze it out of there
@@KiwiCarLife Do you just sort of pinch the middle part and pull?
Diss anyone know how to fix the clock so it doesn’t keep fading away all the time on the luxury version
No idea sorry
I had this problem too. I fixed it by packing the space between the housing of the clock module under the wire terminal. I figured out he clock was on when I lifted the wire and off when I dropped it. I guess gravity gets to it after a while. So far, no more drop outs. It's been over a year.
Would it be the same case as CU2s where you just pull the tube out?
Yep pretty much
Did it work for you?
Could I do the same to my type s my weekend just got exciting
Yep you could
Is it possible do same thing on a k24z3,, CW2 ?
Yep sure can
Can this be done without removing the front bumber? ☹️
Yes, but you'll be left with all the other piping down there
@@KiwiCarLife i have already removed it 😂. The same part you did. And it sounds a lot better. Thanks bro. By the way, i am still amazed you managed to get 5.8 0-100, impresive!!!! Gearset such an inprovement!
Since you didn't take the box out does that mean you don't need to remove the front bumper to remove that little tube which gives you this sound?
Nah if you just wanna pull the tube, you can do it by undoing both the bolts that hold the airbox to the engine bay to give you some wiggle room, and then pull it out from the top
Did your check engine light come on?
Nope
Hey man, what did you say at 3:11? How do you do this "properly"?
Turns out I was wrong here, you don't need a pod filter on the end. Just take the tube out and remove the box in the bumper if you want, and you're good to go
@@KiwiCarLife Really? Wouldn't it affect the throttle body or anything? Like it will run totally fine with the tube removed for the rest of its lifespan and still pass WOF? No CEL?
Would you recommend going with a CAI when removing the tube/intake resonator?
@@theknightofren yep I ran it like that for a year with no issues
Does this work on an automatic honda accord euro 2004
Yep
Ok thank you
Hey guys I have a cl9 and I want to get paddle shifters installed, does anyone know where to get the right paddle shifter kit for it?
Nah don’t get a kit, just put an FD2 or FN2 steering wheel on it
Will it fit tho?
Oh okay well I am going to get the HONDA CIVIC FD1 & FD2 CARBON STEERING WHEEL but I’m gonna choose the option LED Strip with it, will that work on the cl9?
@@user-ir8pd8qo2n eeueueuueueue led strip what would possess you to do that. Clean look bro, please i beg of you don’t get a carbon steering wheel they’re just so tacky. Just find a stock FD2 leather steering wheel with paddles
Does this affect fuel mileage?
Not at all, if anything it gets marginally better
Hey can u plz make a video on how to launch
Could do yep
@@KiwiCarLife thanks I would really appreciate it
Honda: spend engineering time to meticulously counteract the resonance.
UA-cam: MAKE YOUR HONDA LOUD BY DELETING IT
Pretty much
Why take the whole bumper for that rubber tube?
I'll admit that was a bit misleading - if you're looking to just remove the tube you can do it from the top, but if you want to take the whole box out too you'll have to take the bumper off
needs to install any filter ?
Still has one in the box so no
@@KiwiCarLife I’ll it tomorrow on my cl7 i hope it has the same noise
Was confused because I couldn’t find the tube. Turns out the previous owners already did a intake delete 😅
Well there ya go haha
nice, but im 41, im just gonna leave it stock and quite and still got the power
Fair enough
Does this work for automatics?
Yes
Can i put it back as easy as i get it out? :O
Yeah its easy as - i did it the hard way but undoing a few bolts that hold the airbox to the chassis makes it a lot easier
You could just hum racing sounds while you drive.
Hahah
For free for manual only? my cl9 Is auto and the gearbox is messed up so it makes a weird sound
You can do it on any accord the gearbox doesn’t matter
5 months later sound still the same ?
Sorry, not quite sure what you mean?

@@KiwiCarLife Came back for another view. That whole scene doesn't disappoint lol.
If you remove just the rubber between the plastic and the rezo box, the sound exactly the same, and it's just 1 minutes. ;)
That's exactly what I did in the video
You didn't watch the video did you
@@shaunbailey4922 Just don't understand why he would like to remove the rezobox.
You didn't catch my comment, did you?
Tik Tok light 🤣🤣
Yes hahaha
Did this to my wifes 2.4... she's not as impressed as I am 😆
Hahah classic
All you did was disconnect your intake from your cluster that's it..... You might as well do what I did and and put on a cold air intake and put on an aftermarket exhaust
Except the difference is what I did was free.
Keep watching the series and you'll see I did an awful lot more than just this
Just cut the airbox
This achieves the same effect with the ability to put it back to stock so why would you do that?
Mid renegade 😂
Hahah
