i aquired one for free. it has max power on it. i put it on to see what it sounded like and thought it sounded cool so it is actually still on the car. i know its not ment to make a differenace but is there anything it could have done?

decreased power?

made it rev longer?

anything?

Gave you no power gains whatsoever, and more hot air exposure

Yes you still get the sound and with an exhaust it helps, and drilling is easy, just take it out drill the holes where you want and put it back in.

Yeah they do have to be at the bottom, that's where the air will come into it.

ive got a induction kit on my car, dnt know what make but when its been raining (quite often up here) after start up and for about the first 5 mins of driving it seems to missfire. i just put it down to the filter sucking up water.

its the noise, all in your heads, an open cone is definatly 100% worse than a decent sealed kit, or panel filter
