Airbox cover...on or off?
Had the front end off my car the other day and from what i can see the intake starts from the side wall off the engine bay. Would it do anything besides make my car louder if i took the airbox cover off. I just bought a K&N filter and it has shiny chrome on it:shocked:

just makes it louder.. and could possibly perform worse, as the heat from the engine isn't shielded
i did this until i got my aem v2... just for the hell of it :P
left it all in, just simply took that cover off.. now it's all out though, much nicer

If the temps are extremly cooler like in september at night, you can lose as much as 2 hp by taking it off.
