Did the mod and like the results. Idle seems slightly better after removing one screen and the sound is quite nice. Does it matter which screen is taken out? I removed the one at the front of the intake horn nd left the one closest to the MAF sensor. Does leaving the one at the mouth of the horn and removing the other make a difference?

I don't recall the official purpose of the horn, but I would think without an air horn of some sort that you would have a lot of air "bouncing around in there" rather than being directed through the intake tract?

I'll snap his neck.
No problems taking the horn out, but perhaps I will try putting it back in to see if there is a difference. I take it you put it back in but remove the screen from the front of the horn?

well racing beat says for every screen that is taken out, there is a 1-2 hp increase. so chances are, your butt dyno wont even feel it. the acceleration might be smoother though
