Air Intake V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Jon on  Fri Jun 20 00:46 CST 2003 [RELATED]

In my neverending efforts to improve performance I have begun to look closely at the air intake on my '98 V70R. I am wondering why there is a plastic part, located on the top right front of the radiator, immediately in front of the air intake. The part only seems to slow or baffle airflow into the intake and I was wondering if anybody out there knows why it is there. It comes off easily with the removal of one screw. I think taking it off and putting in a high performance air filter may improve air flow - any comments?
