dr_broon Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 the couple of tweaks of this and trimming bits from the airbox seem to have made it stronger at low revs and then when iabs kick in.bit more noise... but still quiet really. just made the k+n sound effect a bit more noticable.haven't really had a spirited drive though, coz yesterday had karen and the little fella with me.
