My intention would be to manually and temporarily control it remotely. In rain or snow, water could flood the intake if it were always open. The normal intake hose routing has several water traps and drains to prevent that. Theo- Yes, you could easily mechanically defeat it, but that is not the best idea.

By doing this and securing the flap in the open position, one would have increased airflow below 4500 rpms, yes? On the other hand, the JCW A/F maps would not be designed for the increased airflow under 4500 rpm would they?

Filters should never be more than $20! The filter itself is certainly nothing special. We all have plenty of time before they need to be changed, hopefully alta or K&N will have replacements available by then. Wow. Filters should never be more than $20!
