Airbox trumpet - remove or not?

Featured Replies

Have the K&N air filter out for a clean. Seem to remember a post from Devonutopia about removing the upper box internal trumpet.

Any comments?:rofl:

Do a search? hahaha!

Don't bother Bas. :)

Get me on MSN later on to explain better but it's to do with the differences between the pd130 airbox and the pd100 one. Basically, no benefit in pd130 one, and a possible side effect or turbulent air passing through the MAF.

I'll stand my hacksaw down now then too.

I did - and apart from a useful reference saying that Jason should not be allowed anywhere near power tools, not much....

Thanks Jase :thumbup:

pd100 trumpet was quite long and narrow so the end was sat right in the back corner of the lid. The pd130 one is half the length and a good diameter, so no worries there. I never touched mine.

PS: Dave - No hacksaw required. It just needs some "wiggling", although from distant memory when I did my pd100 one, I'm sure I broke it somehow. :rofl:

Clip your toenails then weigh them. About that. ;)

All good to know - measured said weight of clipped toenails to make sure I wasn't missing anything at all...

Filter now cleaned, dried, oiled and re-dried.. You try about 3 weeks of daily fine choking sand and see how you like it....Give me the UK's rain any day....

Thanks to all that commented...
