TWM throttle body air horns

Just curious if I actually need the airhorns if I am going EFI and fabing an airbox which would cover the openings into the throttle body? Would definately help with clearances if I could run without them!
Thanks,
Bryan

I will use airhorns and a foam filter over each one of them

I spoke with a guy that used to work doing rebuilds on a dealership and he told me the housings get trashed when you dont use a filter.

actually, I'm planning on running this as a turbo, so the air filter would be before the turbo, and there would just be an air box mounted to the TWM throttle body, so I would still have a filter up stream I certainly wouldn't run any car without a filter.
Thanks!

Yes, run the air horns, it will help with intake velocity.
