Just wondering first off wat is the cars comb and what are the benifits and negatives about removing it.

 

the cars what? comb?

 

The car would have messy hair???

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Doesn't ring a bell with me. What area of the car are you referring to? Engine? Exhaust? Interior part? Electrical system?

 

If I had to guess, this would be referring the the "honeycomb" screen of the mass air flow sensor, the theory being that it inhibits air flow. To be honest, I don't know why the comb is there. It would appear to be secondary protection for air filtration, stopping larger particules from going down the throttle body. But you air filter should have that covered. Maybe air needs to pass through the MAF very laterally to get a good reading, which the comb appears to be designed to do.

I ain't screwing mine up. You do it, and let me know how that goes.

 

If thats what he's refering to, mine has been gone for almost a year now, when I put on the bored out ZZPerformance unit. Probably got 20,000 miles on it.

 

hmm let us know what u mean

 

This guy has it listed as a mod to his car

He ran the 1/4 in 16.1 secs. i have the same car with more upgrades and I cant run but in 17.5. A friend of mine seems to think it might be the front spoiler???? But idk

 

It's purpose is to straighten out the airflow as it enters the TB thus making the engine run smoother or so they (GM) say. The trade off is a slight loss of airflow. I pulled mine a couple of months after I got my MC and have had no issues.

If you are trying to get every little ounce of airflow you can pull it, otherwise I don't think the net gain is very much and certainly not noticeable with the stock TB.

 

he also has a tornado...so that should b ur next clue as to how smart he is

 

Isn't that worth one second by itself? (LOL)
