Yes, you can drive around with the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box part # Y95AV on your 2007 Acura MDX while empty. However, there may be a bit more vibrations than while loaded but this is nothing to be concerned about. I called my contact at Yakima just to confirm this for you. The Yakima SkyBox has a very low profile, aerodynamic shape so there shouldn't be much wind resistance.
