So last night after installing the BMS OCC I decided to run with no engine cowl/HVAC micro filter. The engine is so much $#@!ing louder! :o You can hear everything a lot better, its crazy how that cowl was keeping everything a lot quieter. The engine ticking noises are a bit annoying but they are offset by how much louder the turbos sound with the DCI, plus removing/installing all the time when working on the car gets annoying.
I remember reading a thread some where in another forum which talked about people not running engine cowls. I know there's a bunch of people here who have been running with no engine cowl. Have you guys had any problems not running with one? My main concern is too much water getting into my engine bay, such as when I wash it, or heavy rain. Since, I always see water marks all over my cowl, I'm afraid water will go down there and damage something :think:. Let me know what you guys think.
