Does anyone know why the flap on the end of the airbox intake is removable?
What happens if you take it off? Looks like it just unclips

 

no idea...our stock airbox was off within a few days

 

What are you using?

 

C&L, it netted us the greatest amount of horsepower increase with the tune

 

I didn't know you had a gt500 yet...I thought you wre getting yours in 2009 0r 2010..or do I have you confused...sorry if I do...

 

I don't think he does...at least not according to his sig pic.

 

you're both right

I don't have one, my dad does, that's why I don't post it in my sig....cause it's not my car
and yes, I'm getting one of the new 2010 ones

does that clarify it?

 

Still no one knows?

 

I was wondering the same thing. I just went out to the garage and removed it from the air box. You do have to unbolt the air box to gain access to the front rubber clip. With the air box back in and the front "flap" removed there is much more air/room around the air box intake opening.

With it on, the air box intake is right up against the edge of the fender, which only allows air to be sucked in from the dead air space behind the headlight. With the flap removed, there is much more room around the air box intake opening. Enough to put your hand right down into the air box and feel the filter. So air can also be drawn in from the opening near the brake antilock control box, which is open all the way through to the ground. It may also draw more warm air in from the engine compartment, but not as much as most CAI.

I don't know if it will add any power, who knows, but maybe it will allow more of the supercharger wine to be heard. I haven't driven it yet, I will do that tomorrow and see if I can hear any difference.

 

Great, let us know!! To bad you can't dyno a before and after?
