I recently did the light mod and had the air box off, when I got it all on again I noticed a marked increase in the airbox roar. I thought that I had displaced one of the air box manifolds. I had actually forgot to put the horizontal tube on the right hand side of the box on. it sounded great.
Is this the tube Charlie was refering to?

Quote: modify the inlet side of the box thus allowing even more availability in terms of air volume.

Having purchased the K&N will it make much difference in the performance with a catted stock exhaust? Have I just waisted some beer tokens?
What would happen if this tube is left disconected?
Do I need to re-tune the carbs to allow for extra lean / rich fuel mix?

Nelly

If you accidently disconnected one of the tubes, simply attach it back ;-). I'm curious how did you disconnect the horizontal tube? I did not run to any of that. Post photos if you can.

Cheers.

So has anyone checked their mileage yet stock vs. K&N, or stock vs. Scorps, or stock vs. Scorps w/PCIII, or stock vs. Scorps, K&N, and PCIII? I have stock everything w/Scorps and stock cat and haven't really checked it yet and I was curious.

Thanks.

Whilst doing the headlight Mod the air box needs to come off. I forgot to put the horizontal tube back on.

Will these instructions work if one moves up the "cold one" step to the front?

**nimzotech** · 04-04-2008, 12:46 PM

Cheers to that!
