    in saying what I've said...a engine thats designed in the way I'm suggesting...will never run at low or even mid RPM's
    It is induction noise, and when compared to open carbs (or throttle bodies) an airbox reduces the induction noise by reducing the difference in air pressure seen at the intake end.

    Try it on your own car or bike.

    As stated earlier I have had a couple and done the mod If you grab a spare airbox well worth it if you like to do things like this

    If you don't, well not to worry

    The link that v8 put in to Rupes pics is the one that I followed sort of.

    I did get a spare airbox of tlplanet first though, as I was a little nervous and didn't want to be off the road if I screwed it up.

    Me and Death chopped the flaper out and made the inlet tract as large as possible, only reason i did it was cause the bike was in peices and the airbox was there, so thought hey why not, otherwise i prolly couldnt be arsed with it. Any difference, well hard to say, the last time i rode it to the time i rode after the mod had been done the bike was very different, very.

    When I did the first box (no lb's one) the main thing I did was to increase the quality of the airflow,less turbulence means a faster smoother flow which charges the box more between pulses.

    any tl owners done an airbox mod?

    Im trying to screw another few ponies from the TLS, not that it really needs it. Has TRE & K&N hi flow. (Was looking at a BMC but unsure if it was sufficient for urban air quality?)

    Question I have is can you fit a TLR airbox, as they have more air cc?

    You might want to sign up to TLplanet or similar TL forum....those guys know the bikes inside out!! and theres already heaps of info on there.

    Coopoos is spot re tlpanet and tlzone you will find all you need to know at either of them or sign up theres many pages of mods that can be done or just ask a question very helpful group of people.
    The airbox mod will help and the +mod which increases the voltage to coils and iridion spark plugs will add a few hp's.

    Ive seen a ducati on the dyno with the top half of airbox off, during the runup you could see a mist of fuel floating and resonating about 4" above the inlet trumpets, and the inlet sounded just as loud as the exhaust.
