On my 2012 RS SE5, I removed my air muffler/rubber inlet tubes running into the air filter. After testing, engine seemed louder, 2 miles less per gallon, & seemed like more heat on right leg and on my seat.
I figured out a way to run an air tube/duct from right air muffler/rubber inlet to right fog light opening. Bought a 1 1/4 shop vac hose, the end fit snug in the right rubber inlet. I cut the hose to 8.5" & tied it to frame. I ran the hose into the fog light opening & screwed the adapter on to the hose. It fit extremely snug. I took pictures of the step. Took for a long ride and noise and heat went away & seemed snappier @ higher RPMs. Also, seemed to get off line a little quicker. However, verdict is still out. Gonna watch performance, mileage, heat & take to great lakes dragaway strip to run 1/4 mile to see if I can beat my previous time of 14.2.
