ct,

I removed the honeycomb grilled from my airbox cover. I don't believe I'm qualified to say whether or not there was an improvement, but there is a slight difference in the sound. Personally I enjoy the increased "whoosh" sound at higher revs.

Ah the sound bonus would be nice, performance wise i doubt it will do anything significant at all.

You're right. IT WON'T !!

ctC230K, why don't you merge this thread with your other air intake thread. It's the same thing. No need to start a new thread everytime you get a dejavu going through your head.

haha. ok, the other thread got burried and i didn't feel like digging it up. airbox cover is now modded, BUTT DYNO SAYS +1 HP!!! honestly i didn't notice any difference at all, probably because i already have the K&N filter and it already makes a loud wooshing noise when the RPMs are high. maybe if i had the oem filter on it would make a wooshing noise? Saprissa, when you PM me your PAYPAL info and then send me $120 I will be happy to dyno this mod!
