GSmith11B Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm a new 3.6 DJ owner and have been doing hours of research on H.P. gains and fuel economy. One of my many questions is has anyone ever done an intake resonator delete? If so could you give your opinion/ pros and cons as well as if this process has any significant advantage or am I wasting my time? Here is a link to the product I found. http://www.rpm-motorsports.com/store/p151/2011-dodge-journey-intake-resonator-delete-kit Thanks!

jkeaton Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Won't do anything power or mileage wise. Will make the intake sound louder. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo831 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Installed mine today was a little more work then I expected I ended up removing the intake plenum to be able to fit the intake delete pipe through. So far I got to say the throttle response is definitely an improvement like no joke. I will be keeping an eye of this week for the mpg differences if any occurs. My average mph is 17-18 a week a lot of city and moderate high way distances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktop16 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 ive had mine on over a month now, i did pick up 3 mpg on my average. Maybe a little more power in the higher rpm's and some sound as well Eduardo831 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo831 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 That's good to hear blacktop16 I'll definitely report back later this week to share my thoughts and results on this intake resonator delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpg difference was 1mpg haha. But throttle response is definitely there worth 200 definitely a no. Reasons is the intake it self had imperfections like one of the ends is a little jagged looking inside the tube it looked like they used an older pipe. The air temp sensor wasn't cut all the way around. And finally I used different intake clamps the ones included were too big. If the intake tube was 100 dollars then I would say it's worth it jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableguy Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I have ordered one of these intake resonator delete tubes for myself from RPM Motorsports to found out if there really is any type of gain considering some folks say there is a gain. I will be doing a MPG comparision before and after to see what the difference might be. Worse case I will sell it to the nest guy who owns a Journey! LOL Eduardo831 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Like I mentioned before no gains besides noise so hope you don’t mind loosing the 200 dollars like I did. My intake resonator is still on though looks good under the hood.

Pbadgley Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Okay so I have been thinking about doing this mod as well. Over on the Avenger forum there is an old post where they built their own version of this and one option is cheaper. I have ordered all the parts to do this so im hoping to see some gains. The members have tested it and they seem to have some noticeable gains in the MPG department. Here is this link to the old thread. https://www.avengerforumz.com/threads/cai-pipe-project-complete-with-pics.49403/ Eduardo831 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just buy it from rpmmotorsports for 200 dollars in that case. Anyways I stand by my statements no gains besides noise but very aesthetically pleasing. Good luck on your mod. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the butt dyno that makes people think there are gains, especially after parting with big bucks. Spent money, has to work, right?

km-04 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I don't plan on doing this, but have seen the topic enough to ask just what the heck is it? For those that don't know, here is an interesting article on it. https://itstillruns.com/air-intake-resonator-do-12156112.html#ixzz2ZhcM3BGS jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbadgley Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 This old thread was started before RPM made them available. If you read on page 3 another person used silicone parts and built his for less than $120. The one from RPM is 3" all the way from the air box. These ones go from 4" until the 180° bend then down to 3.5" right up until the TB. Also not being one piece make a lot easier installation. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
