Here's a resonator on a LS3 Corvette...It's the wart to the left:



Here's a resonator on a 2011 5.0 Mustaing Coyote engine:
When I changed to a cold intake on my Corvette I NEVER heard a whistling noise. Same as my Silverado. I have never had any whistling noise on anything I have had a cold air intake on ALL components being changed. Both of my cars below have CAI as well.

I thought they were ready to ship about a month ago since they were taking orders. What is the hold up.

Dunno...last shipping estimate was the 19th, but we're past that now with no information...

Just to let you guys know wondering about a new release date, couple of posts back on the thread they wrote this -

"With the updated timeline, we expect orders to begin shipping to our pre-sale customers on May 16th. As always, the presale price will stay the same until then"

Good morning everyone!

Some of you did get some shipping notifications, but those notifications are not for our Performance Intake.

Emails were sent out to everyone who included themselves on the presale list notifiying them that they will be receiving one of our brand new Mishimoto t shirts with our new logo. The shipping notification some of you may have received is for the first batch of t shirts that will be sent out. We are still on track to begin shipping out the intakes on the 16th of this month.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused!

That is definitely something we considered. But in order to keep the shield design simple as a whole and the cost of goods down, we decided it was better to leave the lid as it is.

It's only 3 bolts to get to the filter, so it's easy to show off!

Ahhhhhhh

Yeah I see now. At a quick glance, the email lists both the intake and the tshirt. However, looking more carefully, it lists both as ordered but only the tshirt as shipped.

I appreciate the tshirt. I won't be able to wear it as I wear a 3xlt and the largest you have is a 2xlt. Gives me some incentive to drop some weight I guess.
