Better not to mess with things you donīt understand. Anybody care to mod the intake on an airplane engine ?
Actually i beg to differ...The secondary filter actually resembles more of an in cabin microfilter than a "aerodynamic device" that you incorrectly assumed..What you are trying to refer to is a venturi plate or panel which this secondary filter has no resemblence to..I have built countless Honda Dohc Vtec motors that have been used on the drag strip as well as the circuit which rev up to over 9500 rpm's so i think i know a thing or two about airflow..so hows about the next time BEFORE you try to make a smart ass comment towards someone get your facts straight..
