i find without the silencer tube the hole in the bottom of the air box is right after the cooling fan.....meaning some forced (or introduced) injection. lol. i notice for sure taking off something is better..... i think..... lol, any ways to test it without a dino? been thinking once the weather dryes up a bit doing a 0-60 and 0-100 test, an average with the trap and an average wqithout the trap.....
maybe its like stickers..... the more stickers you have on your car the faster it goes, lol. without the silencer and trap the car is a bit louder...... tricks me that its going faster..... so bottom line, nothing can really get damaged in my engine/ car due to this right? except if possibally too much fuel vapors get on my filter it could combust? lol

I don't suppose any damage will occur to your engine. The environment, yes. Oh, when the radiator fan kicks in, it's trying to cool the coolant/radiator itself, thereby dissipating heat within the engine bay. Since the hole we "made" by taking off the silencer tube is behind it, we're actually sucking up that heat. Like I said, I don't feel any difference other than noise. hehe. You can do what I did before. Take that silencer tube to a hardware store. Match the diameter of the bottom hole (the part that connects to the intake box) with some dryer tubing or any other flexible tubing (might be 2.5-3", not sure, I didn't measure it). Then you can stick and secure that tubing to where the silencer tubing connects to, and route the tubing down to in front of the bottom grill or behind the foglight/foglight cover (cut a hole in the cover if you don't have a foglight), thereby receiving fresh, cooler air. It may or may not add some hp. I didn't feel any difference when I ran this set up with a K&N drop in (carbon trap still in place). Quote:
