Hey guys I've been thinking of taking off that snorkle on the air cleaner box for better airflow was wondering if anyone has done the same and noticed a difference. Also is the snorkle completely open or is there a screen or anything inhibiting airflow?

 

open. not really any advantage that i can see. *kinda* works as a colder air intake than an open one... if you want airflow, i would go with a rb powerpulse or cut the stock airbox.

 

do what i did it defintly made it sound grunty

I didn't notice a difference when mine was off....I ended up putting it back on since it didn't make a difference.

 

I dunno. I drew a line around the bottom of the filter, and cut it off there. Of course, I also have a custom milled air cleaner top, that is the same size as the filter......

 

that was my next step btw nice lid

 

Definitely nice lid, Rogue.

And I think the racing beat air filter assembly looks pretty good. At least I like it. But if you don't have the money for it, then I suggest doing what blwfly did.

 

Yeah, a freind of mine did that to an old air cleaner assembly for his SA. He saved his original one, though. He wanted a lid like mine, but alas, they have been discontinued.

I love the lid on my car. It was missing the top and the clips to hold the top down when I bought it. I figured for the price I paid, I couldn't go wrong. RESpeed rocks!
I have been told it was one of *maybe* 5 ever made. Needless to say, I plan to hang onto it.

If only I had a Sterling carb to place under it.......
