Is it plastic? Probably heat soaks less too. I know on my car this has been proven…
I have the OEM intake/airbox with an AEM dryflow in place of the factory paper garbage and the bottom of the airbox removed. Been like that since 2000 miles or so. I’m at 33k now, haha. I just couldn’t justify paying $200+ for a fucking air filter on a metal stick.
So yes, LaDuke, get an airbox and enough of the ghetto riggin’.
