I have an ‘06 XJR which has a solenoid operated flap at the bottom of the air filter box.
As far as I understand it this flap opens when the throttle is fully open for extra air intake and (a claimed) extra 15hp.
I’ve read that some people take the flap out completely which gives slightly better throttle response and a better induction noise.
My worry is that the air entering at this flap would be unfiltered and when stationary and in traffic the air entering the flap would be hot.
Has anyone on here removed the flap and if so was there and negatives to doing this.
Many thanks
Pete
