Re: [DML] Free flow air intake is a joke

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's also the fact that running a delorean engine with no air box 
whatsoever gains less than 1hp total output compared to a new clean 
original filter in the original air box. This was verifed sometime ago 
on a dyno test. You'd gain the same power by turning the blower motor off.

The ones that Casey did ages ago look nice, but I don't think you can 
label them "performance".

He sent a replacement, but it does not fit the air intake well enough to prevent debris from entering the engine. It stayed on my car for an hour before I removed it.
