OK, the second part is true. It is also true that you will "feel some performance improvement" just by doing the carb mods. That basically yields a "European model".

If there isn't a siginificant amount of restriction in the stock air filter (and how do you know what "many think it is"?) how do you account for the fact that removing the filter altogether results in an engine that just barely runs ?? (without any other mods). :roll:

Overall though I agree that most people are better off NOT messing around with the intake.
