You will suck up all the dirt ont he road and fcuk your engine up. It will be nice and loud though. NOT advisable at all.

an increase in dense air will increase power to some extent in theory but in practice it wouldnt be too clever

eventually block the CAT depending on the crap which gets sucked up.

Any dust or grit can score/scratch the bores/pistons, possibly even make minute pits in the pistons if theres tiny little stones

Wear down the valves, maybe cause problems with stem seals...

list goes on...

tights work just aswell as pipercross induction cones, induction kits and foam filters do not stop dust gettin in, cotton filters filter the air to a greater extent...

He didn't ask about the damage, he asked what it would do to performance.

Basically I dont think it would do much for performance because a normal cone filter can flow more than enough air.......

Its not the foam that catches the dirt, its the oil......
