Is this a safe method? I purchased a K&N filter today and was thinking about doing this project.

That was done on my AP1 by the previous owner - no issues whatsoever, and the sound was noticeable.

Did you keep the top on or off? Logically I would think that the top would increase vacuum, and reduce heat. Or does the plastic produce heat? hmmm...

Top on.

Keep the lid on it. mine is done this same way. i even have a two and half inch hole in the right side. no issues this is good for 7to8hp. proven on a dyno at import hot rod garage.

Not worth the effort IMO. Not a fan of hacking up perfectly good factory part with no real promise of gain. Spoon uses the factor box with a snorkel. I think its safe to assume if they don't feel its worth doing, then it probably is not worth it.

It sounds a little better. That's it.

^ I agree. This mod is all about sound. To some people, that is worth it, to others, maybe not. I will probably do this again to my '05 at some point, because I do like the sound with a K&N and a resonator-ectomy.

I am aiming for sound because personally an exhaust, headers, and intake are not worth the money anyways. My plan is to upgrade them for pure sound and I figured this is a cheap alternative to a good sounding intake.

"resonator-ectomy" what is that?
