Also, that's a neat stock intake -- it's given me some ideas on sourcing cool air for the Summer.

I agree with removing the resonator -- dead weight IMO. I've done the same and haven't notice much difference unless at WOT, which is very rare anymore.

I look forward to the results!

I've seen your post regarding the ideal IAT for your engine. I don't have a SG yet, but will get one in the following weeks as it makes it practically impossible to test the impacts of mods and techniques without one.

You should be able to find some (usually they have only white) at hardware stores such as home depot. Sign shops will have some leftovers for sure and they can even cover some with a vinyl color of your choice. Finally, any plastic distributor should carry most colors or be able to source some, but getting a specific color might be more expensive than getting a white one vinyl coated.
