Default Restricted Air Flow??

"Shown is the restrictive carbon filter trap which resides in the factory air-intake duct. This corrugated piece serves to trap any raw fuel vapor from the intake manifold. Removing this piece is good for a several horsepower gain, however often yields to wacky air-fuel ratios." (from http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...5CPR/index.php )

I am still unsure whether I should remove it or leave it alone. Has anybody removed it and were there any problems? What's the deal?

For the 1,000,000th time... take it out!!! Anyone who hasn't is... well, never mind.

BTW, mine didn't even have one in it from the factory. How important can it be?????

Exactly... Remove it and off you go. I needed no reset of the ECU... but... If you are concerned with it you can always disco the battery and reset the computer. Then drive it like you stole it.

Ok, Ok, I will take it out. Does it just pull out or do I have to cut it out?
