This big, ugly contraption is the silencer. It was designed to appease the accountant-types who demand that their new cars be quiet. It works in that it quiets down the engine's sucking sound, but it also chokes off horsepower, so we removed it. Removal is easy. First, remove the air-inlet hose. Then remove the two nuts that attach the airbox to the inner fender. Remove the three nuts that hold the silencer to the inner fender. Pull the silencer out through the bottom of the fender. Throw out the silencer. Reinstall the airbox and inlet hose.
