It's not a criticism, more an understanding thing for my lack of knowledge. simple answer yes, hotter air is less dense therefore less oxygen I may consider venting the bonnet but I'm not too fussed really and for the record I'm always open to constructive criticism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakkums Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hey Andy, everything is looking good. Can't wait for the sound. Maybe something like this against the heat: Heat shield jenvey Would be nice to complete the kit without doing something with the bonnet. Maybe a HR bonnet when this fits better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracostan Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Lovely little induction warble there! That's going to be so addictive, trust me - since I put my Stillen intake on I can't stop myself letting the revs wind up just that little bit higher than necessary, so I can hear the tuneful tunes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm maybe not , it sounds good until you really open it up then it's just embarrassingly loud so back to the other system again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
