Ive heard from some people that taking the air silencer off will increase horsepower, but others say it actually decreases horsepower, whos right?

get cold air intake instead dude... the air silencer thing doesn't do you any good... expect around 0-10 hp gains from the CAI

pull the silencer and get a drop in K&N. Then use your money for something worthwhile, like gears/exhaust/timing adjuster/BLOWER.

Whoa....Air silencer, sounds daring to me!! Leave it on, and get a procharger 3 core instead. You will get slightly higher gains with the SC if it is tuned properly.

I ended up putting my silencer back in, because my car was idling rough. It seems fine now

I put my snorkel back on, because I was thinking that it would draw slightly cooler air from the fender well, and because I have zero performance mods.

But, it does seem like the snorkel is a bit too long, almost going all the way to the outer fender wall, so maybe I'll do like some people, and cut a couple of inches off of the end.

Then again, I wonder how much cooler the air is, in the fender well.
