Drilled Air Box ?

If it's just noise you're after, then just de-snorkle your air box and hear the horendous induction noise it makes. That way, you can simply put the snorkle back on once you're fully disgusted. I've tried the de-snorkling mod, and IMO it was gobsh!te. Just my opinion though, many may beg to differ. Chin

I just removed mine and added a K&N filter at a later date, i noticed a difference in accelration immediately after removing the snorkel (but none extra with the K&N), paired with some tank risers (which i havent got) will aslo add a bonus

Apparently tank risers are a can of worms fuelling wise, have you got a full race system?

Induction sounds supposedly unbearable with tank risers in, couple people have told me that. It's got to be really,really loud to make such a nice noise unbearable.

I de-snorkeled and added tank raisers , the noise drowned out my can , was a waste of 30 minutes of my time and the raisers were sold on here for £5 a few hours later . No advantage whatsoever apart from sounding different to the rider .

Nah just an end can

I havent got tank risers and dont want them because i can see my filter getting wet(ter)

I dont think the induction noise is that bad, i barely notice it now

P.S. im a little tired so my post may not make sense...

indeed

I was saying the induc noise is supposed to be bad with tank risers, not a problem when desnorkled.

I wouldn't have thought anything more than desnorkleing and possibly the airfilter would be worth it without a race system.

Remember that the airbox is only the start of a long path for the air as it passes through the engine. What's point in having a super flowing airbox if flow is then restricted by inlet port size, valve diameter and shape, exhaust port size or exhaust.

I love the sound of mine.

BMC air filter (which has no snorkle)

and tank raisers.

The exhaust is still louder though

Can't often hear mine over the snort

What other mods have you got? Much noteable change in performance?
