Anybody remove the air intake lids?

[ShadowCoyote]

I removed my air intake lids after reading a post about performance with them (as well as being tested with various filters with lid on/off).

I'm not certain there's necessarily a performance gain out of it that's significant but the sound is nice. You can definitely hear the intakes working.

Has anyone else done this? To my knowledge (not a mechanic or engineer, I just read what I find) it doesn't seem like it'll be harmful.

Doing this you might be sucking engine heat in.

This raises a good point. I appreciate that.

Yeah, the design you will for sure be pulling hot air. Easy test though. Look at the IATs with and without
