Cap off Airbox?

[macoman69]

I own a DC2R and have a question regarding the standard air box.

Do you actually get more power with the air box cap off or on (cause i know it sounds awesome with it off especially when you hit VTEC)

Though i dont know whether there is any real difference

Does anybody know anything???

Sorry if this has been discussed before (tried searching but couldnt find anything)

silly to keep the lid off - just keep it on and run a nice large pipe from the bumper front to the bottom of the box

moved to the noob section

and youve got a heat shield kinda around it? :)

like what [N] said... you will loose abit of power. sounds MAD though! :p

well it is still actually filtering the air as the air filter is still intact. u do lose power and a little fuel efficience but the sound is nice

Just get a nice panel filter, should make ur note sound a lot better. Still not as good as with the cover off tho! haha. By the way I think not having a cover on your filter can earn you a defect.

Dont honda filters sit in the bootom of the box, not in the lid, thus if u take the lid off, its just sucking in unfiltered air?

we are talking about a DC2R guys. It sits in a airbox as a "feed" and the pod is directly connected to the intake arm.

yes the dc2r is not like a civic with a panel filter. it is an air pod like chuck said
