about to put one in and the instructions say you need to drill a 81mm hole to be drilled... 81mm is a very odd size.... and can only get a 80mm or 83 mm hole saw. how important is it to have the hole exactly 81mm? thanx guys ben |

i'd use 80 then some nice smooth wet/dry to smooth it out and open it up a bit more before hitting with some rustguard to stop it rusting. |

i dont really hear the induction that much - althoguh to avoid dust getting in i've flipped the head around, which made it FAR louder... especially when the right foot is on the floor, its like having a reverse exhaust pipe near your head. it does sound cool though =) |

Two questions: Have noticed any improvement in power or fuel, and does it create a blind spot where it is? Paul |
