is it safe to take an air filter off and drive for say half a mile ?

ive got one of those crappy green mushroom jobs and when i boot it a bit i can hear a noise like the filter is trying to suck more air ?

ive mentioned this before but now its getting on me nerves ;)

i want to take the filter off and drive for half a mile say to see if it makes the sucking noise when i boot it...

is it safe ?

I had a HKS mushroom and it did make the whooshing sound like it was sucking in extra air, the filtration on it is absolutely terrible, thats why I went back to stock. Dont chance it with no filter on. So answer is NO!!

the noise stopped once the filter was gone then ?

cos it does make that noise as you say ,like a strong sucking sound at higher revs.

Jody from here offered me one to buy but i didnt buy it right there and then,.

if anyone sees a stock filer for sale could they give me a shout please ? :D

1/2 a mile with a pair of tights over the intake should be fine :). I've got a stock filter you can buy, it's just the box and a used filter btw.

 

Was going to suggest something along those lines. Should be safe to use something over the pipe instead of the filter for the sake of half a mile.

When i first got my supra it had ones of those mushrooms on.

It made a lot of whooshy noises all the time, Get a stock airbox on their. you will feel and hear the benefits especially this time of year.

This member is selling an airbox, then buy a filter from Mr T for about £15.
