^ Or spiders like my engine bay. But yeah, your pretty much running like a Individual Throttle Body. You should be fine as long it doesn't intake any foreign object or hot air.

You loose almost all the HP you gained from ITBs when you run filters.

Besides if you can afford ITBS and a good tune you can afford to rebuild the entire motor when it fails

It could be funny story telling people how this one time you got a sock jammed in an intake valve.

People with ITBs often run at least a wire mesh filter to keep the big stuff out. It'd be pretty silly to destroy your engine while saving up for a cosmetic intake that doesn't do much.

Get a filter and change your oil....
