So the plastic battery vent that goes over the intake, what is this for exactly and is there any downside of removing it?

Thanks

it's there to "cool" the battery. removing shouldn't adversely affect the battery.
you can't vent air when it's getting air forced into it.
what i meant is that you dont need to bring in air to vent something. what flammable fumes are in the battery compartment? it's there for cooling.
in short, take it off if you want. some people can't even keep it with their intakes.
