OEM Airbox
Is it safe for a couple of days to leave the OEM intake cover off? I wanted to see the sound difference, but I heard of the intake heat soaking after awhile ... I'm putting it back on after maybe 1-2 days of driving, but I was just wondering if it will do any damage to the intake/engine if I do o__O

i doubt it will do any "Damage" to your car, but if u are a sit and go traffic situation then its bad because engine gets hot and intake is sucking hot air and hot air = bad, but member do it because it sounds better when u go vtec.

heat soak=power loss.
so pretty much, itll sound cool, but you'll be slower than usual
not a good trade off for me
what you can do to get a little more sound during crossover is to block the resonator passage way with a piece of plastic
i cut up a dvd case and taped off the resonator passage way with the piece of plastic and tape. the crossover was more prominent, but not as loud if you had a CAI.
btw, the resonator passage way is located behind where your air filter sits
