I know this is a noobie question but if i were to take the box off the filter, would it work just like a normal intake?

 

I've seen some topics about this.
But the answer to your question is simple.
The stock filter is different from the original.
If you take it out then it'll be more worst and you won't gain anything.

What exactly is a "normal" intake? The box is there for a reason, to keep hot underhood air away from the filter. Keep the box on there.

yup.

 

well a short ram does but you could get a real cai and it wont pull in hot air..

 

Go buy a filter and some 3" heat ducting from home depot and take out your air boxes. Thats what i did. But dont be gay like me. keep that cover on the intake box.
