I took out my spark arrestor, added a K&N
air filter with pro flow adaptor, and re jetted my carb without an air box lid.
I can tell a difference in torque and throttle response but nothing a piped ex wouldent smoke. I did it because I think it sounds better than stock and a can pull a stock ex an most stock Z400's.
