okay so i went through my jeep looking for a place to put a snorkel through the fender wall and i noticed a cover right behind my front driver side head light. It's inline with the existing hole in my air block. If I remove it will I get better air flow...or will it create problems.

I think it helps keep rain from coming directly into the airbox.

i have seen jeeps that don't have them and have a tube running up into that space.

little rain aint gunna hurt it

all its intended to due is help direct colder air from the front of the vehicle instead of sucking in hot air form the engine bay

do you need it?....NO

most people running snorkles actually seal that intake hole off as they will be running the snorkle plumbing through the side of the box

oooo i see what your talkin bout now(i think this heat we are gettin is affecting my head) someone has screwed a plate on over the hole in the front sheet metal so yea remove it there was a piece of ducting between my air box to that hole

but once you get your snorkel it wont matter
