[QUOTE="themadgnome, post: 8756441, member: 27406"] Well, by covering the box you have essentially restricted air flow (as already said) causing less air to get to the intake. Unfortunately, the cooler, more restricted air probably will not make up for the decrease in air flow. With the cover you have installed, I am assuming it is pretty much air tight, so therefore it must create a vacuum suction with the 3" tubes you have running to the front bumper. From the sounds of it, the two 3" tubes may be too wide of diameter and too long to create an adequate suction to pull the air into the intake box. Also, the fact that the tubes are running to the top of the box could be a problem as well depending on how sharp of a bend they create. Lastly, the material of the tubes could play a part in restricting the vacuum suction. If they are too thin and flimsy, they could be restricting the flow of air to the intake. Furthermore, if there is any small leak in the piping, this could prevent the vacuum needed to suck the air into the intake. As you can see, there are many variables involved. Basically, do you have a pic of this intake for us to see to determine how it is setup? Also, what material are you using for the piping? Bottom line, you may be better off just leaving the air box open unless you are willing to do some testing and tuning of the setup. [/QUOTE]
