removing the air intake restricter - good or bad??
I was recently at a Mustang shop and one of the mechanics showed me the airintake restricter in my GT located within the airintake hose. He said it supposedly directs the air in a certain pattern (not sure what that does), but I carefully removed it and noticed a bit of difference when on the freeway - I have more response when I hit it!!
So am I just imagining this extra HP, and what exactly is the purpose of this restricter (better gas mileage) ?
RE: removing the air intake restricter - good or bad??

its to stop gases from coming back out when the car is off

Maybe I explained it wrong, here's a picture of it. It's located in the part of the hose close to the air filter (I don't think it would hurt anything to remove it - I don't think gas could travel that far back)
