Sorry just had to comment on that. Yes plastic isnt that heavy and there for removing such a small piece would not increase horsepower due to weight, but increasing air flow into the intake for better velocity and air volume might in fact increase horsepower numbers. If not than there is no need to change from a light weight(plastic) intake tube to an aluminum tube for a cold air intake right? But hold on a second it does help hp by switching to a cold air intake because of air flow not weight!!
