I removed mine when I converted my 309 Gti,and a couple of forum users reckon you lose torque But I searched the net and the info I found said the only thing resonators do is reduce noise  Pretty sure they are called Helmholtz Resonators  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Yes helmholtz , ive turned into a bit of a perfectionist and want to make sure that my engine is functioning as close to standard as possible with minimal losses, would you recommend I put one back on? As when I first got the car I did feel like it lacked a bit of torque down low________________________________________ "We never have any near misses, we hit them every time!"clicky code for my benefit [ url= http://www.website.com]My link[/url ] |

the torque thing I have heard mention of before, try it!if only there was a 6 owner with a RR to hand, we could see what difference this and advancing cams and fitting induction kits made  (apart from noise...) ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Remove it and see the noise difference then.. Tell a lie - they aren't used just on peugeots. They are used on jet engines and lots of other applications too. They aren't just for noise. I swapped an inlet to one with a bung in once before buying the resonator and noise wasn't any different tbh ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Usually both to cancel out unpleasant resonance notes and to to help fill in dips in the torque curve that the camshaft + inlet manifold length gives, albeit usually at the slight expense of peak torque.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

So to summarise: yes it does you a load of good and removing it is barely a boredom exercise?________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Depends, sometimes if you've altered the head/manifold or cams they'll hurt performance as they're no longer matched with each other - in that case I'd bin it, standard car with bolt on bits? Probably not.Be interesting to see a back to back on the dyno. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Have removed mine and binges it then made the airbox completely air tight and found that you get a slight induction noise from the snorkel. I also found better throttle response. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

im trying to get to the route of this on my thread  looks like back to back no ones done it. could be an interesting one if i turn up to pugfest. (we get a rolling road dont we?) seeing as to convert between the 4 possible comibinations will take all of 5 minutes ________________________________________ the world is changed by people in sheds |

I've removed mine on the Rallye,and also the one fitted to airbox and blanked off the hole into airbox,modded snorkel to make a 'ram-air' effect into airbox,fitted a RamAir induction kit inside the standard airbox At a recent rolling road day mine did 180bhp(highest of the day on standard inlet/injection )and also highest torque figure Other mods are Magnex de-cat and system So I still stick with the info I found the resonator is for noise reduction ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

to put it simply hemoltz resonators balance out air distribution to each cylinder. The calculations can get very complicated, but it does do something and can be quite important on tuned engines running plenum chambers. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |
