Hey, sorry to pester but have you/will you drive minus air filters? Any other Weber owners pro or con on filters and what effects if any on engine health?
Chas,

Right now I'm driving without any screens or filters. I have the thin foam element screen with rubber around the outside, but most likely will not use them while driving until I get somewhere to prevent kids or idiots from throwing pennies or something stupid down the throats. I mostly drive on freeways and pretty clean roads here in SoCal.

I've noticed, that over the 4500 mi put on the car, there is very little debris, if any, on the intake manifold or around the valve covers. So I'm fairly confident that I'm staying out of the dirty stuff. But, the filters/screens are for that time I never expected. And it may happen sooner or later.
