keep it if you like it,its not doing any good for the running of your car but neither does a cone filter but people still persist with them

i dont mind dump valves but found my car to run a lot smoother off boost and generally felt a better drive,so binned it

I suppose its better as it keeps the hot air from the filter, does it have a slight roar as would a after market filter ??

Your best off not to run one, if you really want one it wont cause any harm but it makes them a bit juddery when you come off the throttle.

Falls down to personal preference and if you can put up with your car driving annoyingly!
