Hey Dhula,
I've started doing your snorkel mod and guess what. A 2.5" steel exhaust pipe fits nice and snug into the air cleaner box with the original plastic sleeve still in place. So I've got the great guys at Maroochy Exhaust Centre getting some bits together for me i.e. quarter donut, some straights and a silicon flex piece. I'll mig together all the steel bits and it should all fit nice and snug. I'll have to paint it inside and out as well I guess that will probably be the hard part.
I've cut the hole in the inner guard, what a mission that was, my bend will not be as tight as yours so it's a little eliptical to accomodate the greater radius. I'll post some photos when I get a little further along with it.
Once done off to get the dyno test done. That should sort out a few other issues too I think.
Regards
D.T.
