Have a read of this, the main reason for people doing it is when fitting an aftermarket inlet:

In reality it won't give you any more power, but it will keep the inlet cleaner and be one less thing to go wrong.

No, but it will be hurtful to the environment.

It would clearly* be best for everyone and everything if he bought a brand new car with free road tax.
