Intake Resonator, More Info Please. Options

[GreenyST204]

Having the front guards off my car I am trying to see what I can do.
have heard a a little about the resonator on our Air intake but have not seen or been told what is what yet.

most of the info i have found says that the resonator is attached to the intake pipe between the TB and the Air Filter Box.
I have removed this plastic container with one opening and blocked the hole on the intake pipe.
could not hear much difference.

now I am looking at the plastic box in the left hand front guard under the headlights? Is this a resonator or just a extended air box, what happens if we remove it and how easy is it to remove if so.

I removed 5 and 7 as well. I plugged the 5 hole with an asprin bottle cap, fits fine and a little black spray paint does the trick.

Did the engine noise change apreciably when you removed the small resonator box (#5)? I have been thinking about drilling a hole and putting the box on my SRI to quiet the engine again. It is just too loud for driving any distance above 60mph. I may have to go back to the stock intake and put the large resonator box back in the fender, maybe drop a K&N or FRAM Airhog filter in there.

Thanks
