The hood pad is a sound deaden-er(main reason it's there). So it will be louder if its removed.

Removing the airbox cover will increase the intake sound significantly, especially at higher rpms/Vtech. However, the OEM cover is there for two primary reasons. (1) Sound dampening, and (2)Reduce hot air entering the filter. You may notice a small decrease in performance if doing this "modification" in warmer temperatures.

^^You should re-read the OP's first post. You two are on completely different subjects. Also, it's Vtec...Not Vtech.
