has anyone ever ran a air filter striaght off off the Throttle body?
any problems doing this?
i think i am going to do it, get rid of all the intake tubing and run it straight off the TB where the throttle body is at is as about as cool air as it gets

The intake tube actually serves as a way for the air to get "straighter" and less turbulent.

i understand, it makes sense, the tube directs the air to the throttle body and is smoothed out as it gets there.
i was just thinking tho that with and air filter on top of the throttle body, there would be a lot less restriction of air flow
i might try it, i wont be out much
i'll drive it like it is for awhile and pay attention
then switch to the open element and see if the differences are noticable
thanks for all advice

it seems like the farther away from the engine youget, the colder the air, and since the throttle body isright there next to the engine it seems like it wouldbe hot air. but idk maybeenough air wouldrush in through the grill to cool it off. but ne waylet us kno how it works.

dont do it u will lose power i did it and it was lacked a bit especially up top.

would this be any better from the stock location untill i figure out what i'm going to do with the intake?

dude...just get individual throttle bodies
