Has anyone just removed that tube that goes from the fender to the air box on the engine. Isnt that basically like doing the deckplate on this new motor. I was wondering if doing this will benifit at all

Try it and let us know how it works.......

But it would act more like a warm air intake being right above the right exhaust manifold.

I tried it on mine. Didn't notice anything. The tube doesn't seem to restrict any air flow at all, so I put it back after about a week. One thing removing the tube will do is allow you to suck in a lot more hot air- right above the passenger side head. I didn't test anything, but normally hot air = less power.
