Thats why i think all the other mods will just confirm the power of the gtech. Ross

Anonymous Unregistered A	think of it this way... get a straw, pinch it at both ends (so air can get through) and blow down it it's hard to blow ye? now let go of the end that is furthest from your mouth, is it any easier? no, because you're still getting restricted by the part you are pinching by your mouth, this is like fitting your cat back system

Anonymous Unregistered A	o by the way, k7n panel filter is less restricitve than a standard filter, drilled air box does improve airflow, more air flow better throttle responce ect, used to drill air boxes on rd350s gave a bigger power band.
