You guys are vicious.

Opening the airbox when the engine is running is a "Very Bad Idea (TM)"

Any dealership that did this for you is hoping to destroy your engine so you'll have to pay for a new one, which wont be covered under warranty because you've done something sadistic to the car, running it without proper air filtration.

A car engine is going to move a lot more air then a vacuum cleaner, so anything that gets near your intake is going to be sucked in and rubbed all over your apex seals and rotor housings before being blasted into the cat causing loss of compression.

Words can't even describe how ridiculous and idiotic this is. This is a joke right?.. it HAS to be. Stop effing with the forums please.

God forbid someone actually listens to you and does this insane "mod". Why not just take the filter out completely man? According to your retarded theory of more air=more power. You're method will let , let's say 5% of whatever is in the air, into your engine. Well, that 5% is a metric $#!T ton of baddies.

This is how Injen was able to produce over 21hp at the wheels on the Mazda RX8, better than all of the competition!




vicious; why do you waste my time with worthless links?
