Spectre 9900 intake

[brucebly]

Just bought a Spectre 9900 CAI off craigslist new in the box for $50.00. Don't really notice a difference in hp. Hope to get at least 1 mpg more tho.

I just purchased a K&N pannel filter the other day,

I wish I had seen how cheep these are.
(I wonder if the parts store will take the K&N filter back?)

Just do the swiss cheese mod. Then you will have just as much increase as the spectre without all the heat problems.

but I want the SOUND of an open element (and really wanna get rid of the intake silencer piping)

Dude it will change the sound too. Youve already got the filter just get out there and cut some holes in your shit. See how you like it and if you dont. Return that shit.

Here is a thought for the heat soak. The tube is polished correct? Any metal that is polished will absorb/hold the heat worse than one that isn't polished. If it is that bad get it powdercoated or paint it to help reflect the heat. Try a dark color. I had an 02 cbr954rr with a matte black frame and my buddy had one that was polished, the polished frame got so friggin hot you could barely stand to touch it. My black frame got warm but not anything close to the temp of the polished frame. If anybody is willing to paint one and has a infared temp gun do a before and after temp and compare. I'm willing to bet the painted one will be cooler. Just my 2 cents!
