Ok, sounds like a bad idea. Last night I took the engine cover off for the first time, and the access is very tight. Frankly, the less I have to work on it the better. So, I took the air filter out and removed the foam. The sound is definately improved, and with no flat spot problems or potential for water intrusion. I'm pretty happy with the power of my 2.5 L. I hope it stays that way.
