sorry to hijack this post smythie, just thought id throw my 2 cents in since this thread is where i learnt about all this
what i ended up doing to get a better airflow from where the resonator was... seems to work quite well.

using some plumbing skills ahaha.. bought some plumbing bits from bunnings, hacksawed a little notch out so it slotted on niceley to where the resonator was, didnt bother glueing the fitting onto the box as that fitting was very tight and wasnt going anywhere.. but with the pipe i just used some pvc plumbing glue, which probaly wasnt even needed but ahh well its not going anywhere either.

as i said in a previous post.. i found a spot in the bottom on the wheel arch that seemed to have quite good airflow coming through from near the bottom of the radiator which i opened up a bit. then angled the piping in that direction.
ive have had the resonator off for the last week (just open hole, no attachment) which i have been enjoying the louder spooling sounds.. now having this little DIY mod it still sounds just as good, but seems to have a better throtle response so IMO i think its doing its job.. plus it only cost me a whole $10 bucks.. cheaper than a pack of cigs
