Standard Airbox Sound Dampering

[skyrex4]

Hi

I have a 1995 Nissan Skyline GTST.

On the inside top cover of the standard airbox , is there what I think is some sound dampering material?

If so, how do you remove it without breaking the plastic nipples that hold it in place? Just in case one day I may need to replace it.

I presume there is nothing adverse in engine performance by removing it, just more air induction noise.

Cheers

Yeah pull it off, I did that

Use a little WD40 and flat head screw driver to pry them off. You'll be fine

I'm running a pod with an alloy 3inch intake... really wish it absorbed sound the way the factory airbox does

man you guys are so old and krusty...make that shit loud.

Sound dampening removed = slightly louder.

Airbox replaced with Pod = louder again.

Pod with metal intake = Even Better!!!

I removed the sound dampening in my STD S13 airbox.

I prefer the sound (more the absence of the turbo aspiration noise) with it rather than with my old aluminum with a pod.

The only downside is almost no audible surge noise when i release the gas pedal.

Thanks guys for your advise....will removed it and hear how it sounds

I never get any noticeable increase in noise with that removed

Now I have metal 3" intake with the airbox I also felt that the induction noise and stock blow off valve noise have gone quieter compared to the stock rubber intake

Reminds me of a number plate surround..... If it's too loud you're too old.... I'm not young... Unless 36 qualifies as young.
