Answer 1

first off people need to pay attention and read the story
second removing the cover will not make it faster air from the out side of the vehicle is channeled into the air box and then through the filter it does this so the air is as cold as possible to produce good horse power removing the cover would allow air from the engine bay area which is hot to mix with this air thus raising the temp in the eng and then lowering the rated horsepower take for example on turbo charged cars there are kits to run freon like an a/c system through the intercooler to cool air temperature at the intake all you would be doing is making noise by taking the cover off and losing horse power not to mention if you drive through a large puddle of water the chance of water intrusion into the motor which is baddddd

Answer 2

Actually this may have a negative effect on what you are trying to do. I would suggest replacing (if you haven't) your air filter with a "high flow" or a "performance" filter. The stock cover (again depending on the car) is already deflecting air into the "carb". You might get a better answer by letting us know about the car. Example- year, make, model, any current modifications that you may have made, etc.

Answer 3

Putting in a clean air filter will do about the same thing. I'm not sure if leaving the cover off will let the air filter jump around or if it will stay secure without it. good luck.

Answer 4

Any jap or German or Korean automobile with 270HP-330HP can attain as much as 155mph. at present, maximum V6 engines in jap automobiles make that ability and attain that ruled constrained speed. 155mph. Any Porsche can surely attain 160mph. Even the slowest and maximum inexpensive, the Porsche Boxster. For American automobiles, you like 400HP automobiles to attain a hundred and fifty mph surely. they want extra ability because of the fact they're frequently much less aerodynamic and heavier. occasion: The 300HP Mustang GT basically reaches 146mph. Honda S2000 Nissan 350z Mazda RX-8 and RX-7. Saturn Sky Redline Pontiac Solstice GXP Pontiac GTO Ford Mustang GT500 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Nissan Maxima New Honda Accord V6 and Nissan Altima V6 and Toyota Camry V6. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo or Eclipse GT Subaru Impreza WRX or Subaru Impreza WRX STI. VW R32 VW Passat V6.

Answer 5

Removing the air filter can cause the engine to suck too much air and it will bog down..... I would go with a Cold Air Intake system.

Answer 6

probably the worst thing you can do is run the car without the air filter . any dirt or dust that get in there will reduce your engine life probably about 75%

Answer 7

don't just remove the filter, its there to protect the carbs.
change it out with a k&n filter and shoot it with a filter charger.
this will allow you carbs to breath better and boost your performance.

Answer 8

it will make it faster and accelerate better but at the same time it lowers fuel economy
