Not to hijack this thread, and I certainly don't want to trigger a foam vs paper debate. So, filtering ability aside, I was looking for insight on how much intake roar with pods compared to a modified lid, compared to a stock air box? My bike sounded best when the only mod was the carbon mufflers. The crossover increased noise and made it somewhat more raspy (still sounds good though, and not too annoying to the neighborhood). I'd like to free up the intake side some but not at the expense of too much more noise and the dreaded seat vibration that sometimes comes with a lot of intake roar.
Thoughts from the experienced?
