why do we even the washer bottle ?????! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

i was once asked how many times i actually use the washer bottle, and said not much really. so why dont we jus take the bottle out altogether to maximize the air flow. .shit if i gotta get out the car a few times a year to wipe off the window it wont kill me to get the air flow i want and still get the air scoop....

I don't think the washer bottle restricts airflow at all to where it would even be noticeable on a dyno. Even though I drive mine daily I don't use it much but need it this time of the year when the snow starts melting and gets sloppy. Never looked up how much it holds but only think I have topped mine off maybe twice in a year and a half. I think it is getting close to a top off again. JMO.

It definetly sucks up some of the air from the intake bro... And its been results reporting 5-6 h.p gains and tq on the dyno according to prior posts. !,,,,,,,,,,, lets see what others say......

Take it out and see if you miss it. Not that hard to remove and put back in. I do it all the time with my Injen cold air intake.

Doesn't block my air flow, I like how it looks after I painted it and I still use mine, not often, but when I do I am glad it is still there.

How is a washer bottle restricting airflow?

Thank - you, and you're right no air blockage from the water bottle. However, I am looking to open up the grill to improve air. I am cutting the piece away next weekend (shown in the photos), this is what is cut away when installing the air scoop.
