I trimmed the bottom off up to the top and left the directional spout on there, that was 26,000 miles ago!
Going to try removing it all together. One thing noted above, it was the single most notable mod that I have done where instantainously I could feel the difference. Just like trying to run while breathing through a straw, cutting that tube allows the bike to breath. Match that with exhaust mod and you have a happy bike! Happy bike = Happy you!
Go the full route and replace teh stock air filter with a high flow air filter in Uni Filter or K&N I am sure you can get those from two or three persons about here.
