Got my AD one this morning, second hand from Green Serpent for a good price (cheers mate!

)

But I have to say, its made sweet F.A. difference, compared to the corrugated tin that it has replaced. Sounds about the same, throttle response is about the same (not that I could imagine it being any better), performance seems about the same.

So overall, a complete waste of money. If you want to replace the standard airbox, get a decent free flowing self-enclosed filter like the CDA and then any old bit of tubing to take it up to the intake.
