182 Airbox cold air feeds

Just seen a thread where someone has there upper Acoustic valve air feed missing... and seen sparked my original thoughts to remove the hose.

I know where are two CAF's, one at the bottom and one leading to the Acoustic valve... seeing as my Acoustic valve has been removed and the air feed left over is in a awkward place (next to wires) which i have yet to sort out, is it ok to just remove the side hose and leave the bottom CAF in place?

Ive heard it will give slightly more noise and seeing as the side hose doesn't go much further down it cant be any performance loss?

Running AC delete and ITG panel filter at the moment.

Pull them both off, get a bit more air and a load of induction noise.

When you sell the car, plug them back in, one lady owner etc etc. lol!

I found that removing the acoustic valve did very little if anything at all, but removing one caf from the 182 box made the car 'bog down' and feel down on power.
Get a ph1 box!!

Haha i think ill leave the bottom one in Daniel its just seeing as the side hose isnt attached to the Acoustic valve any more, and just pointing down not that far and also next to some wiring i think ill remove it but i want to see if anyone else it running the same as what im after.

Yeah i did think about a Espace box (i think thats the model) but couldnt find any, so found a cheap ITG panel filter, cars running fine for me at the moment, got more important things to sort like the exhaust, but was just wondering about this...

Was going to go outside and do some work on the car but its chucking it down now :banghead:

Anyone have there side air box hose removed, with no ill effect? sounds stupid but you do hear of people saying the car felt sluggish etc.

Pull it off and try it yourself??
