Can anyone tell me if this is what I'm looking for?

Basically I've heard if you take the baffle out of the almera airbox it makes a louder noise. Is this that baffle?

 

[Eliot]

Yes.

Whats the best way to remove it, just drill out the rivits?

I don't think they're rivets just melted plastic that can be chipped off with a flat head

I just ended up using a hammer and small chizel. Took me no more than 60 second. Thanks!

how does this baffle work? obviously by removing it the airflow in the box is cleaner/more direct so making it louder; but how does the baffle affect the cars performance, ie its implications of being in place?

If it's better without it... Why did they put it there?! - Silly Nissan... :laugh:

It's probably there for noise suppression, although they design these things with computers for optimum midrange performance - the areas of the revrange where normal people drive rather gaining a bit of performance at peak rpm.

So it'll be like the Resonator pipe on the K11 box?
