Ok what do you want to accomplish.

A proper one, i.e BMC race RS can give significant power. Degutting the stock one can also flow quite well, most of the road filters are just as restrictive.

If you just want more noise for free then take the foam off the underside of the tank.

Dyno'ing it does nothing. It's a test of how it runs that's all.

Get a new air filter if you want to, don't put it in though, take it to the dyno place, fit it then get them to rejet it.

Is it a slipon or full system you have? Reason I ask is that unless it's a full system, you're not going to get massive gains from filter and rejet- and it's fairly pricey to have done by a pro. IMO it really makes more sense to keep with the stock filter in that case. I rejetted mine myself by trial and error which saves money but eats time, and it still needs dyno runs to check your results.

+ 1, not really worth while doing if you don't run with a full system! Especially do not do it if you have a restricted (33bhp) bike chaps!
