Default stock air lid modification

has anyone tried using a grinder or something similar to get the baffles out of the stock air lid? i'm just thinking ways to save money!

those little baffles dont hold you back enough to go through that much work when in the end you still have the resonator.

just get a lid.

I didnt remove the parts on the bottom of the lid like you are talking about. I did get rid of the baffle though until I bought my slp lid. I didnt see much by going to the aftermarket lid from this to be truthfull.

I did buy an slp lid

meh. my buddy and i took a dremel and ground the fins off the inside of the lid and removed the baffles off of his assembly. it was good for a gain of DICK. wasted time and effort. leave it alone. lids are for pussies, real men have single planes and a carb style tb on top.
