Default [HELP] Intake Homemade Tuning?

Hi, I saw in the 6th gen civic of my friend his intake. He took of the kind of plastic black pipe and the top of the box where the air filter is. He taped with electrical tape the filter so it won't move. The sound is great (as a short ram).

I wanted to do this to my car, but i wanted to know if there was any risk to do this?

There's no pipe going to the side of the car and the filter is not covered.
Is it a good thing to do or i will break my car?

Thanks

It won't do anything for you. If anything, it will make it more susceptible to water and foreign objects getting to, and possibly past the throttle body.
