Don't really want to buy an after market pod but would like to hear the vtec wail.

 

The disadvantages:

1. Filter will get dirtier quicker.
2. Car might be slower due to hotter engine air getting into intake

The advantages:
1. Sounds louder

 

I take it off for track events... sounds nice

For city driving I leave it on to help prevent hot air from be injested into the motor.

You lose alot in the midrange because of the warmer air, but it does sound really nice. Its not hard to do, so just try it and see if you like it. Ryan

 

So that's how you keep it nice and slow on the track!!!

 

I couldn't have said it better.

 

if you like it..leave it off. cmon, its not like youre going to loose a great deal of hp by doing that, plus your car will rev up faster too. have fun!

 

Ummm, no.

 

hmm..yes.

less restriction better flow...que no?

 

no.

no cover = hot air inside engine bay sucks in the engine = less density = less oxygen for combution = less power

unless you r constantly having high speed and the incoming air velocity is fast enough

Yeah I noticed that Autobahn-driving with the opened intake gives better throttle response from a certain speed on.... But hell, my ears went deaf

Anyway... two or three times a year I open this damned thing to get some grannies shocked, not for racing

 

daaam autobahn!?!? thats must be great!!! leave it on becuase it will make you loose hp..and just buy a drop in

 

Yeah, I have a K&N and normally it`s closed
