Default Intake

On the intake on an 02 GT, I was wondering if that cover is a silencer or if it houses the intake itself or what? Ive had mixed answers from friends but I dont want to go around messing with it untill I know for sure.

Thanks for the help

i guess its the airbox then.What exactly would happen if I took that off? Would it just expose the air filter?

You cannot just remove the airbox lid/cover, its an integral part and it holds the filter in place.

You can remove the silencer, its on the bottom side of the stock airbox.

Why do you want to make you engine breath hot, underhood air instead of cool air from the fenderwell?
