    another question about flipping the air cleaner cover

    I am thinking about flipping the air cleaner cover our the accord but will that mess up the vacuum system or anything? I won't do it if it will mess anything up but if it won't hurt anything I want to see if it makes any difference.

    Supposedly gives higher air flow. I know for sure though...it sounds pretty cool. Oh yea...put it this way i didnt notice any change in the Vac System. But dont take my word for it. But know this...it sounds pretty cool when you flip the lid =P

    Search it on the forum. "Flipped Lid" "Flip Lid" you know..

    No it won't mess up the vacuum system. I've ran my car without the air filter and lid without any problems. Now I didn't run it on the street, it was for carb cleaning purposes.
