I came to the conclusion recently that the DIY snorkel in the bumper of my Clio does not actually boost the performance of my car in terms of power and speed, but with the baffle set as it is the car just drives better! It’s hard to explain, but the engine pick up on part throttle feels easier. It’s a happy little car now!
Hi Edd,
Yeah I'm not sure mine gains power wise, it just runs much freer & more evenly all round. Power band has changed as in the power starts to build at 5000 & then really comes in at 7,000, whereas before it was pretty much linear power delivery. Most of the rest of the time it's pretty docile & manageable. Which is fine for town & city riding.
I'm just gonna keep experimenting with this & have this as my standard set up now as the Buell standard air box set up just doesn't work very well at all on mine.
Where did you eventually leave the baffle set to then? Is it restricting or diverting the flow of air?
All the best Paul.
