On my 88 stang, I want to remove the air intake silencer. It looked like I could just replace it with a section of plastic tube, but after looking at it, the throttle body end of the silencer seems to have a bigger diameter than the airbox end. Has anyone else replaced/deleted the silencer? How did you do it? THe silencer itself looks pretty restrictive and I would imagine getting rid of it would help things a little bit.
