What would happen if I removed the restrictive pipe before the airbox but left it that way and and didnt run a new hose or pipe back into the bumper? Would this cause any codes or other issues?

 

The snorkel? It won't trip anything. Some people think that your IAT's would go up, but I highly doubt that as well. I swiss cheesed the bottom of my airbox, and saw an increase of 1* on my IATs.

 

I have been running that way for a month now couldn't find the little snap that goes up under the wheelwell pain to pull it out . I gained 4 tenths in the quarter mile by taking the injen cai off and going back to stock airbox. w/o snorkel with k&n filter, prolly go back to paper filter again for the winter months.

 

what...... er , maybe you just got a better run as a whole??

 

I ripped mine off havent had any problems I put a K+N in too it sounds real nice.

 

Done said mod, IAT 1's stay 4-7 degrees about outside temp, I am working on a cold air mod for the box right now. More a ram air type deal.

 

So i should be perfectly safe removing the snorkel thats drops down into the fender well? dont need to fashion a hose or pipe piece to keep drawing air from that area? Cool, gonna rip it out at lunch!

 

Do it already

I just loosened the front bolt and jerked the whole thing out.

 

Lol alright alright im doing it im doing it

 

No ran all summer same times with two completly different tunes cai was making my car run like crap on third gear pulls, runs great now with stock airbox no snorkel.
