I recently removed my air silencer. Now can anyone tell me, does this actually add power? I've read postes where people claim that there is actually a loss of power because if it sucking hot air into the intake. In my opinion I really can't believe the temp is that much diffrent then then temp there the silencer sucks air, any views?

not really a big difference, if any. I never noticed anything when I did it. It probably won't cause any difference in intake temps......you'd be getting air from a 8" difference in locations.......think about it

yeah, we have all tried the "free" modifications, and they don't work. HP costs money, bottom line.

Mine is off - I like the increased intake sound for more PERCEIVED power. A friend with an '03 GT auto has an off idle hesitation with the snorkel off - my 5 speed runs fine.

My opinion is best summed up by quoting a famous wrestling star "It doesn't matter!" If anyone really wanted to know the difference they would test it with a dyno run. Unfortunately the difference is so minuscule that its not worth wasting your time. The only reason I left mine off before I got my CAI is becuase it sounded different.

I think the sound alone is worth the time to take it out.
Let's face it it only takes like 2 mins to take out.
It turned my check engine light on. So, I whent over to
a friends house and we used a programer to delete the
problems. It runs fine now.

I've read about making a ram air for it, what did you use to make yours, do you think it actually works?

Does it actually give you a noticable increase in hp if you do it this way? If so, how big of flex tubing do you need??

if you do it on both sides then it's more noticable but make sure you use a double ended filter so it can take in air from the fender while it's not moving too fast...
