Over the weekend I cleaned my K&N air filter. While I had it apart I used a dremel to remove the hydrocarbon filter that's mounted in the top air box housing. I definitely got the idea from this forum. I can't say if it is a placebo effect or I'm just listening harder, but my exhaust seems to have changed a hair. Mainly on up-shifts, but it seems to pop more. It has always popped on cold days just a bit every now and then on up-shifts, since I installed the Stainless Works regular catback with H-pipe. The popping seemed to happen randomly but only on up-shifts every now and then. Well now it seems to pop more often on up-shifts even in marginally warmer weather compared to cold days before. Marginal meaning 40F vs 60F today. Not sure if I have more power, because it has only been a few days and about 75 miles since with mild throttle. However any gain should be small but in theory it should be an improvement. Just thought I'd share my experience. It gave me something to tinker with while the filter dried for a day or so.
