I'd guess that our most knowledgable readers know of threads that have discussed this before. This effort to make a smooth tube may not be worth the time and money. I would hesitate to apply an easy mod until sure that it was a definite sound +/or sound improvement.

********************************************.org catalog has several of these things called an Air Box or Air Box w/ muffler (used for $65). One of these could be used for an experiment, perhaps. There are no exact photos of each available, but it appears that there are variations for different years with and without the muffler. At this point its anyones guess if it's just a matter of using a particular year's "airbox" to eliminate the muffler section. I'd still guess that it's all been done before, and if it's not on the list of easy hacks, it likely is not worth the trouble.
