So, when I took my Si to the track I removed the air filter. I dont think its that big of a deal since I only made 5-6 passes. I posted my results on a Civic board and some ass bag tells me it didnt make a difference when I picked up a lil less than 2 tenths and 2mph. I ran 6 passes or so at 92 MPH and 5-6 more at 94 MPH after I took it out. I think it made a diference. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Frankie

 

personally i wouldnt do it. but if you think the 2 MPH trap speed you gained is worth it then go ahead.

but remember the risk doesn't always outweigh the reward.

 

I did it to see if I would gain anything and I did so I kept running to see how quick I could get it. I dont run on the street like that.

 

we got a rental car once, we drove it all the way from georgia from tampa with no filter installed.

 

you would have to be stupid to run on the street.


do you have a CAI or do you just have an airbox under the hood?

 

Rentals are a whole different breed. They can take all sorts of abuse that a normal car cant

Stock airbox, thats why im not too worried. Theres like a mile of piping and a big ass resonator lol

 

I'm just happy you got to experience 16 seconds of sheer white-knuckle exhilaration.

 

/\ Maybe he was running the 1/8th and his si is really fast.

 

Or maybe it's a huge wing having pos honda that runs 92 in the 1/4.

Either way he didn't really specify or say it was fast. Just stated he saw an increase.

 

lets face it,most people dont buy a honda for blinding speed...maybe good value,gas mileage,reliability,good resale value,etc.
