Did you intentionally place the gasket in your avatar to look like a crown in the hope we might start referring to you as King Dave?

have you ever removed one of these pipes and looked at the top end of it where it comes round the inlet manifold to the airbox? if not, go look at one and then you will realise why this mod works so well.

Steve, that inlet pipe is about 3 foot long and full of bends, TBF, replacing it with a restriction free setup is bound to do something.

I never got round to doing it on mine, but it was on the list, I would have been able to do a before and after comparison too, but can't now
