took out the divider wall in my airbox today and blocked off the baffle area... i still have the stock filter but it made it louder and definatelly made a difference in the performance... got a noticeable 3rd gear chirp on a stock car... only got 3rd one time b4... you can really feel it suckin now threw the air inlet wen you rev the engine... all you bean counters out there that dont have the extra cash for a cai this is an easy and might i add free mod

 

that is very interesting!

 

can you explain this chirp. are you talking about wheel chirp

 

You should remove the little L shape scoop on the underside of the lid too - then you will notice a lot more throttle response!

I cut the divider down to just above an inch (still some protection) and blocked the hole (remove the filter and it's the hole that leads to the resonator chamber) with a piece of plastic and glue and then removed the L shap funnel on the underside of the airbox cover.

Then I added a Spoon replica air duct.

All in all - a very effective mod. It is recommended by Spoon themselves - the mods of the box that is.

 

Can you post some pics?

 

i can email ya some if ya give me an email addy or if somebody can post em for me...

yeah just broke the wheels lose when i shifted hard into third

 

Interesting, I actually contemplated this at one point in time, but I didn't do it because I figured that the box would already be tuned from Honda. Spoon Sports details these modifications someplace? Do you have a web site link? I'd be interested in looking into this.

 

that thing isnt tuned man its restricted as hell... let it open up and breathe... all it had was about a 1/2" by 4 inch opening now it has the full airbox... id leave a bit at the bottom to keep the box rigid and leave some inner structure tho... i left about an inch as well

 

I am wondering how blocking the baffle area increases performance?

 

more air is availible for the filter instead of being in the baffle... plus makes it louder
