Heatsoak which will cause the car to bog in warm climates, your filter will get dirty quicker, people will mistake you for a boy racer.

people have actually seen power loss on the dyno with the cover off as well.
Especially once the engine heats up.

What up dude? Your not going to hurt anything leaving the cover off. A lot of people do it becasue it sounds like the car has an intake. As they mentioned, people have reported power loss on the dyno, which probably cant be felt by the butt. Have fun leave it off. Get a real intake in the summer.
