Why bother taking it off? What you going to gain?

[winfred]

cooler air, not having that crappy plastic thermostat thing in the airbox breaking and blowing all of the coolent out, not having to unbolt that crappy thermostat thing when you remove the airbox, and not burning yourself on the throttle body while working on a hot motor

But then, the aircond can be blowing real chilly air on cold mornings, then you might want to think twice as the only recourse is to wind down the windows. also rainy afternoons after the hot sun will fog, the windscreen. How do you defog without heat ?

this circuit has nothing to do with the cooling/heating of the car, just the air intake

Winfred - whats the likely hood of the TB freezing? I live in PA, where it's cold. I have been meaning to do this, but people always say blah blah freeze the TB etc etc.

Heres a pic of how to do this:

why not like this

because that stupid thermostat sensor is still there. unless you really want that thing hanging out... most of us with cold air intakes remove that sensor from stock airbox and its just sitting in the enginebay looking ugly.
