Do you have a hi-flow air cleaner on it now? If not, do you know you are going to need to change your a/c set up for the round cover to work?

Sorry, not trying to be condescending, but don't want to make assumptions either.

I think the open cover will allow more air flow, but not enough to make a noticable difference.
