Airbox

Has anyone ever tried anything like this?

I've seen one on JHS Racing website? I Made it at work today, is it going to have any ill side effects?

What is "this"? No pic or linky?

Sorry Forgot the picture! Doh!

Couldn't tell you one way or another, but I assume that if you are increasing the amount of air to the box on the correct side of the filter then you should be ok, but I would wait for somebody to come along that knows for sure or has done this already.

I also have a curvy with a different airbox, so I am not familiar with yours.

Thats what I was thinking, but didn't want to take her out for a ride without checking with someone who knows?

I've emailed JHS as well, so i'll post their reply for future reference.

In my opinion, if you haven't made a direct path for air to get to the engine without being filtered then you should be ok. The only ill-effects I can foresee would be if you negatively alter the aitflow to the filter, in which case the motor will still run, but you will notice a substantial amount of power loss, but if you say you've seen a similar thing done and somebody sells it, then you just might be doing something good, but only time and a dyno will tell for sure.

JHS have just replied! Looks good to me!

This was their reply:

"Hi, all the development was carried out on a standard machine, so yes it is fine to fit to a standard spec machine with no ill effects only power gains.We normally see around 5bhp across the range with the fitment.
jh"

Hooray!

Enjoy!
