it would definetly bring in more air....but id rather spend 200 bucks on a CAI than a couple grand on an engine rebuild....no filter, especially with the scoop, will be vulnerable to all the crap laying in the road that you may suck up....leaves, rocks, sticks=engine death

 

I suppose great point I was just looking to do this tempararley until I got my CAI so keep the filter in and cut out the bottom of the box with the filter still in Im just wondering that because they way I look at in now is that I cant see much air going anywhere once its in ya know

 

jsut leave it the way it is,
the stock airbox doesnt flow that bad.

in fact on the dyno with the airbox open and no filter it gave no difference besides the extra noise.

 

The filter isn't gonna make much difference, it's the routing/tubing that makes a hp difference. And it sounds like a good way to suck up a rock into a cylinder and have it clanking around in there until something finally breaks.

If you want a cheap CAI just look around at Lowe's for awhile, you'll find something that will work, even if it doesn't look very pretty. It's what I did when I had my v6 camaro.

 

pointless!

sure looks like that huh smart guy

 

you may want to do a bit more research before you start firing your mouth off...ram air is next to non-existent so the whole use of a "ram air scoop" does what exactly? the stock maf only accepts a certain amount of air so the "scoop" isn't providing more air...cooler air maybe? not so much...

so go ahead and do your little ram air scoop 'mod' so you can put a sticker on your car claiming so...

 

I was looking for advice on this dumb ***----> can I take out the air filter on a stock box? and not clamp the other side on put it back down in the air well for more air will it hurt the engine dirt wise and will it help???
