I don't see how removing these little plastic things out of the box will do anything. It's not like you have a lot of room at the top or bottom of the air bell. Most every car I've seen that had a noise baffling device on it had it on the pipe leading to the airbox and on the pipe after the box. The MT has both... The screens are the only thing IMO (unproven) that block or hamper air flow.

The idea with removing the panels is that it might help to expose more of the filter surface area to the incoming air. That will result in less flow resistance across the filter.
The REAL point to this exercise is to consider how these mods to the factory intake are strikingly similar to the more popular intake boxes which cost a lot of money and the similar results.

Is Gross horse power that much different than brake horse power?

Yes, there is a big difference. Gross horsepower is more of a theoretical capability of what an engine can produce. Basically the engine's HP produced without any drag at all, including interal drag of engine parts. Brake horsepower is the amount of horsepower that would be measured at the flywheel with all accessories(SAE), so there is a big difference in HP. Shaft HP would be after the transmission and Wheel HP of course measured at the wheels.

Interesting thing I've noticed. Since I've had this done, my "fuel cutoff" feature that the scangauge displays doesn't kick in. This is when the computer cuts off fuel to the engine when you are coasting with the car in gear, when you let off the gas at a high enough rpm. It shows up as 9999 mpg and 0 HP on the scangauge (as explained to me by the scangauge people). Any thoughts on why this cutoff might not be happening with the intake stuff removed?

Have you been running the car with your front defroster on? I'm in the Chicago area and I know my windshield has been fogging up without it on the past few days. If so, maybe it's still providing a small amount of fuel because the A/C compressor is running.

took out the walls, left the screens. just an experiment to see what you guys are talkin about. little bit more aggressive sound, tiny bit more low-end response which was surprising. nothin thats gonna stop me from savin up for a revi
