Distort Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 You running it with the cover on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S60RDUDE Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 You running it with the cover on?Yes.. can I not? somehow I think crap would get down into the other side of the intake box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distort Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yes.. can I not? somehow I think crap would get down into the other side of the intake box.Well you could, I dunno much about the S60's and underhood temps but it may help to get more air, even if it is hot air. I mean, you're still getting it from the front air dam too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S60RDUDE Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well look in my 3rd pic to the left of the filter itself.. that is all open I think some stuff would get in there.. no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distort Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well look in my 3rd pic to the left of the filter itself.. that is all open I think some stuff would get in there.. no?Well air is being forced through the tube and into the intake box, so at worst you might get a leaf in there, but it's gonna get in there regardless of whether or not the cover is on the filter. But it looks like you keep your S60 pretty clean, so it honestly probably wouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVette Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 If you leave the cover on, you'll see more of a gain then you'll see from leaving it off. The stock volvo airbox with a K&N filter is one of the best intake setups that these cars can have. It more or less is a cold air intake stock. But the stock filter is more restrictive then the K&N... slightly.Also, if solids get into the air box, they aren't gonna get sucked up... thats what the 'filter' is for, to filter those things out. Water though... water will get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KN'C96850R Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Leave the box sealed. With it open you will be sucking in hot engine air that will be coming over the top of the box since the open box doesnt make a seal agianst the hood. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo850T5 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 K&N are good and nice R! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 leave it sealed, less cooler air is better than more warm air. Only tards that don't understand the point of a "cold" air intake take it off and leave the filter exposed to the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
