Permanently removing Air Cleaner Duct?!
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2016 6:18 pm
I changed my air filter last week. When I removed the outer case, I decided to remove the little rubber 5" tube inside of the air filter cover. As far as I can see the tube only serves to take air from the opening and funnel it directly to the air filter. Anyone had any negative experiences keeping the tube off? The best change was the engine sound now has a deep guttural sound to it. I have driven 150 miles with the tube off and there has been no change in top speed or mpg usage. Thanks all!
