running without air filter,

[sam1741]

hi everyone

i saw many modified car..
like those who modified to 4 throttle
and those who modify to twin carb

many of them running without air filter one..




what is your opinion about this?
is it good? (power?) or bad? (dirty thing get in?)

is it suitable for normal daily road use?

will the dust/sand get suck in scratch your cylinder
destroy your piston
mess up your engine oil/ oil filter?

Be prepared to rebuild your engine every 10-20k km... less if your area is dusty. :P
