Not that im aware of, its rather popular. Ive always wondered what it was for to begin with, and only thing i could come up with was some sort of noise dampener.

Im thinking it helps air get down into the intake.

hey we haven't had this one come up for a while now.
surprises me every time to hear someone still hasn't cut the thing out yet lol.
i remember cutting mine out before i ran the truck so i didn't bother checking to see first if i actually felt anything or checked economy.it clearly was something that didn't belong in there for max air flow.

Me and 99% of NA IDI owners im pretty sure. Like F250 i cut mine out before i ever fired it up. I have the turbo on there now, so obviously i dont have the NA can on there anymore.

Would be interesting to see what difference there is, would be really easy to tell with a pyro in there.

I ditched mine, sound difference was really all I noticed (no gauges at the time)
