Default removing resonator

Would removing the resonator from the air box help in any way other than weight saving and noise? also that tube thing on the side of the exhaust?

The tube "Helmz resonator - something like that" is designed to remove the nasty vibrations and associated sounds like droning etc the engineers will have put this on to stop this IIWU i wouldnt not remove this.

The resonator will remove some of the restriction, neligible IMO, i was going to remove this but just for sound.

The resonator in the airbox wouldnt really have much effect either.

I have done this because i have routed an airfeed to it, also i wanted a bit more noise and it increased air inside the box (or so i believe).
