If you want to see the "flapper" in action, get a rear stand, crank it up, put it in first and look at the grill and give the throttle just a small twist (about 1000 rpms more than ide). You'll see the flapper shut and then open again when you let off the gas. _____________________________ '06 Black CBR 1000RR '91 CBR 600 F2 streetfighter (in reply to baxsom) Post #: 3

When I pulled mine out I noticed no negative changes at all, just sounded better and got a small performance bump when leaving lights. If you look at your airbox design, you would have to be a complete idiot and concentrate a stream of water into your intake to get water through your filters and into the stacks. _____________________________ 05` CBR1KRR (in reply to gassarvet) Post #: 5
