I would imagine removing the roof on the exige s and higher powered models upsets the flow of air to the I/C, resulting in higher temps. In another thread I found through searching, the service manual didn't recommend driving without the roof in "high speed" applications.
To be clear, there should be no repercussions resulting in driving a supercharged exige without its roof on aside from less power due to faster heat soak, correct?
I was very happy to learn that the top could be removed on the exige :clap:. Now the deal is sealed just about...I hope to get an s shortly and apply a gotham tune to it. Coming from an STi, I am going to crave the power. :evil:
--edit--
I also just thought of something. In my sti, the i/c, which is a TMIC, gets airflow directly from the hood scoop, and it gets hit by debris accordingly. Do you guys think perhaps that for whatever reason, the I/C on the exige would be more vulnerable to damage? I'm not quite sure how...but I think that would be my only other concern..
Thanks!
