So far so good! The nice intake sound is maintained and perhaps a little nicer, while getting rid of the sharp edged entrance to the air box. Throttle response seems a tad crisper but of course this is biased placebo effect comment. There seems to be less of retort/stumble from the air box when I stab the throttle at idle
