It's a resonance tube. If you remove it, you need to block up the hole (55mm or 60mm PVC pipe end works). You will then know why it's there - the induction roar is heaps louder with it off.
There's not much to be gained by using a chrome intake pipe, except for looks.

It is getting a pod in the box and larger snorkel also. Was just wondering about that tube.
Cheers

What sort of $$$ are the intakes worth ?
Also would there be a performance loss due to heat and the metal as i love the look of them. Cheers, Woody
