I found a piece that attaches to my afm inside my airbox that is basically a long horn looking piece that goes almost all the way to the wall of the airbox. I was wondering why this was there? Does it have some sort of venturi effect or something to increase air velocity? I removed it to see if I'd notice a difference and I really didn't. Anyone have any insight?

It controls airflow through the AFM. It wont make you faster by removing it.
Also, if you scroll down you might find there are techincal forums.Im now E30less.

Oops, I'll use the tech forum next time.
Is there any detriment to removing it or should I put it back on?sigpic

Put it back in. It's there for a reason.Originally posted by shiftbmwComment

If I recall correctly, that tube is called a "velocity stack". It is there to minimize the turbulence of the air going to the AFM.
You should put it back in.
