taking the air box completley off will let all the little bigs of dirt and sh!t into ur engine, which is not great. saying that i left mine off on my old XR3 for over 12months and i never had one problem. its up to u dude :Q

Dont do it! Youd get away with it on a non MAF injection car for a bit - but those litle twin choke webbers are a female dog for blocking up anyway

leave the filter on m8

What the hell do you think the airfilters duty is?!!

If you want your beloved engine damaged, I know a better way. (Pedal to da metal, and leave it there!)

Seriously, leave the filter on. If you want more sound, get a performance filter (K&N, Pipercross) then!
