Are there any advantages to removing the baffles?

 

As far as I know, just lets it make more noise.

 

Better throttle responce too. less space for air to fill at WOT.

as you know cold air is good air and the baffles full and become hot due to radiant heat of motor compartment so it heats up the ambient temp of that pocket or baffles so by removing you are dropping the air temp coming in buy 30% or better so i have been told makes sense in a way

 

Yeah that's totally what I ment to say!!! LOL!!

Jon

 

hey jon i said it for you. you know great minds and all that stuff

 

lol!!!

 

awhile back i cut up my stock tube to remove the baffles/mufflers/whatever. didn't notice a bit of difference, but maybe the combo of baffle removal and snorkle mod may be noticeable. i put it back to stock because it looked like crap with my patch job where the holes in the tube were.

 

I use a brake paint red for high temp because I stayed in my garage

 

thanx jon.. i couldnt find anything in the sprinkler section....stupid question coming.... which hardware section? need a general direction... thanx

 

As far as home Depot I dont know if there is more then one hardware section but if you just go there and tell then you need hole plugs they will tell you where to go. If you go to like Ace Hardware I'm sure you can find them there too. There just basic hole plugs. I'd give you the part numbers but I tossed the stuff out....

the name of the part is a threaded pipe plug osh has them in the sprinkler section home depot keeps them in plumbing and irrigation same with Lowe's as for ace look where they keep pipe fitting for lawn and garden types of pipes

 

kool,, thank you jon and blue oval

 

my new snorkel is drying out in the garage right now.... going back out in about 30min to install and test drive....

 

I installed mine today. I haven't glued or painted it yet (couldn't find black PVC). The standard white PVC worked great. Those directions are right on the money. I took it on a short ride to run an errand post-installation. I didn't "get on it," but it didn't throw any warning lights either.
