I've read some people say that removing this thing affects the MAF readings which would imply it would need a tune. I'm aware that Mustangs in other countries do not have it, but those cars also have different headers (unless I'm mistaken) which means they're also probably running a different stock tune.
I did the sound tube removal which would, in hindsight, probably have a similar impact, if there is one, but it didn't cross my mind back then.
So does anyone have any input? Every time someone has brought it up, it's been completely glossed over. I can't see it really impacting anything unless the readings were taken during an open loop or before the ecu had a chance to adapt.
I am keeping the stock filter at the moment, and I'm not expecting much of anything for the carbon filter's removal (it's definitely not the restrictive POS found in BMWs and the like), but the itch to do something is kicking in. It's definitely not like the days of the pushrod 5.0 where a day of messing with the timing and spark plug gap could be a fun little time killer.
