Thanks to a local meet, I met Turbohips (NOT TURBOHOPS< SORRY) who tutored me about removing the "silencer" on the airbox. It really was about a 20 minute mod, the toughest part was the rubiks cube gyrations necessary to get the thing out of the wheel well with the 20" tire still on the car.
Now that it's off, it seems to me that this was simply a straight tube from the airbox to ?.
It has 2 distinct chambers that branch off the tube, but if you run your hand the length of the tube, there is a straight path avaiable for the air.
So, other than the chambers quieting the airflow, did this thing restrict anything? It's not even really that heavy.
Did anyone experiment with cutting off the chambers and sealing the holes up so the airflow has a straight shot?
Does pulling the thing off DO anything except de-slence the intake?
