BAFFLING QUESTION
...As I was taking off the 12R's body pieces (AGAIN!), I thought about the baffles or resonators on the ram-air tubes...now HANS has eliminated most of it on the CF snorkel and there seems to be gains because of it...I guess I could hacksaw it off (I know the other can be be slipped out) and the holes can be plugged/taped/sealed...but I'd like to keep this expensive piece intact (just in case)...so, would there be gains with a 'straight shot' tube from the stock air-scoop?...does anyone make the ram-air tubes sans baffles/resonators?...I kinda' like the stock scoop best so far (compared to what's out there right now in function, price, and asthetics)...and a 'liitle bit' of additional HP with every simple mod adds up, no?...and I bet it would sound 'nasty'

I don't know about horsepower gains but if you ride in the rain I would leave them intact. I ride in the rain on roadtrips and they do a great job of letting any water that gets in drain out before it gets to the airbox.

...thanks, zx1012r...anyone else with their opinions?...I'm thinking one is a water baffle and the other is a 'tuned' resonator to keep the noise regulators happy?...keep the baffles and remove the resonators...with my full SS/Ti oval Muzzy, I think regulating the noise is moot, no?...and I TRY not to ride in the rain if I can help it, but I know, you just never know...
