More questions for you Kerry,
Will you be making maps for with/without the snorkel?
Right now, do you think it will be possible to ditch the airbox and switch to a pod filter? Or would the bike get better performance from an airbox?
Also, what does the cross tube on the oem system accomplish? I know the 88-07 bikes had one, but my aftermarket Muzzy system (and your discontinued 88-07 full system as well) does not have this cross tube.
I don't even have a 300, but I think your R&D process is cool and I want to learn as much as I can about the new bike.
