Removing the Intake baffle quick vid...FAQ
Got a request to make a video for those that arent sure what to do to remove the intake baffle so made a quick video this morning. Couldnt get a good camera angle to show how I put on the lid of the intake box. But I take the box lid off of the intake hose to install it cause it gives me of an ability to move around. Enjoy.

Take off the whole part he's removed in the video.

Thanks, it will be FAQed :)
|
Does this give a benefit at all?
|
I didn't need to remove the entire air intake tube from the throttle body. Just unclip the top of air box, remove air filter, unscrew air baffle, wah-lah!
|
A lot of the air boxes are a PITA to get the top off. Taking the intake off makes it easier :)
|
Cool. Thanks Vance.

When I get a K&N I might remove the box and see what makes it so hard to reinstall and work on a fix. |

This is the easiest way to remove the baffle. I took the whole thing off so I had more room to film, I didnt want the lid to keep coming down on me since I was doing this one handed. To install it I take the intake pipe off at the MAF so I basically just have the lid to get into place then I reattached the hose.

...Hey Vance, I heard mixed reviews about people using the K&N filter in their STR's and also the jag techs I spoke to recommended to stay away from using the K&N on the STR's because the oil on those filters starts messing with the MAF sensor and the throttle body starts accumulating the oily residue. I too had a K&N filter when I bought my STR second hand, and I just trashed mine and put in the OEm filter, wa lahh the car ran smoother and the throttle felt more responsive; hence I just lost out on the sound the K&N generates. But anyhow thats what I heard and experienced and if anyone has any insights on this please do share about the K&N filter on the STR.

What does removing the baffle do exactly??
|
Lets a little more air into the intake. The baffle is controlled by a device that will push it open at wide open throttle but if you remove it you will get the extra air at all times.

I believe it was to quiet it down. I noticed a small increase in intake noise which I love. Very minimal performance gain as far as my butt dyno could tell. But it doesnt hurt anything and I like anything I can do to get more intake noise.
