Whoever came up with the idea of taking out the "sax" air pipe, thanks! I just removed the sax and the associated box along with it and it runs ALOT better! i don't know about this 8 HP gain crap, but you can feel it in the seat of your pants after you get the revs up. You can really feel a difference once you install a K&n air filter. Just a few pointers though for those about to try it. First thing, there are two bolts holding the whole assembly in. One for the sax and one for the associated box. Also, when you take out all of that crap, you will notice three holes in the bottom. Two of them look like a good place for water to enter. After I cleaned all of the gunk out of this area (clean freak! lol), I put a bolt through two of the largest holes. I left the smallest hole open just in case water was to get in there from someplace else. Now to the filter box. You will have a large open hole in it now! lol Bolt a screen over the hole to prevent your filter box from becoming a "critter condo". I'm not talking about a screen that you put over your windows in your house. Im talking about a screen with holes about a 1/4 in size, like fencing. You can get this at your local hardware store. Cut it to fit over the hole. One sheetmetal screw with a washer in each corner of the screen will hold it in. This should let air pass through unobstructed, and keep the critters out. Just clean it every oil change, and it should do alright. Hope this helps! :flash:
