Removing the air filter can cause turbulence that can upset the airflow
meter in CIS cars, so this is not as good an idea as it may sound. The
filter helps to 'straighten' the airflow into and through the airflow meter.
Keeping the filter in there is even more critital for good, smooth airflow
of you duct the inlet to a high-pressure area Vs running the stock snorkel, etc.
