RE: Remove Air Silencer Experiment.
exactly!!! thats the article!! now...how can you argue with dyno proven hp and say you think you lose hp? =]~
and i was wrong....they only gained 4hp from removing it, keeping the stock filter!! so add a k&n for maybe another 3hp? = 7hp just about as good as a cai!!

RE: Remove Air Silencer Experiment.
sorry....had to bring this thread back up to the top to clear up any misconceptions anyone may have about removing the air silencer! also in the tech/how to section they have a "how to remove the air silencer" thread if anyone needs it! =]

I was going to get a CAI but the returns for the $$$ is a joke.
I have always thought that to take the silencer off would allow more hot compartment air into the filter (engine) and affect performance.
The silencer is down into the fender where the air is cooler so that should be much better for HP.
I just have a K&N in mine with the silencer left on until I can find some better way without blowing money for 2HP.
