OK I have read through a few threads but have not gotten a complete answer. Ok there is this thing ( i think it was called a silencer in another thread) that conects to the stock filter box. I have taken it off and I can hear a slightly better tone from the engine. What i want to know is that does the car work better with the thing on or off??? I mean does it suck HOT air in withot it or should it be fine without the thing.....and should there be ANY noticable power gains?

there's no better or worse chance of water getting in there...all that little piece does is quiet down the stock intake...technically speaking it could give a little more performance without it in there due to the less restrictive airflow but not noticable...
the intake is still well above the fender wall so pretty much no chance of water

If you keep the silencer off, and add a K&N panel filter, it will make a little bit of difference... Not much power wise, but it will rev slightly smoother at ~4.5K rpms, and give you a little more intake noise.

Yes there are two pieces. Upper one and lower one. I have removed both pieces, added a KN drop in filter, attached a Home Depot dryer hose to the snorkel from the stock air box, leading down through a factory cut slot, exiting under the front bumper. Kind of a wanna-be ram-air induction.
Now, EVERYONE says this is a joke, it's bs, it won't work. Well, I'm telling you IT DOES!
It's not like a full CAI, which, I can't afford right now, hence the Home Depot Special. But, it is alot better than stock, and only cost about $39.00 total.yay for cars
