Yeah it clips in a little, but an even pull across the entire surface releases it. Can't tell if it makes a different to the sound as i didn't take the car out. But seeing the way the airflow is into the car i can't think how anything would get in there and require a guard like this. Is it to help with the helmholtz resonator?
My last few cars had more direct airflow as standard and didn't need a guard like this, so can't really think its required anywhere they might ship too for debris/snow protection. but it is/was in there for a reason
