There is some info and figures...
A bigger air box and filter will always allow more air in to the engine and allow more fuel to be added, so will result in more power.  However, looking at the power graph there isn’t much increase in power and only at higher revs is there any real difference in power which makes sense as that is when air flow is greatest.

Probably the most impressive thing is the sound, I will bet that it has a much more pronounced induction roar across a good part of the Rev range, that and the price tag probably gives the owner the most noticeable increase in performance.

The performance figures seem to be reversed. I assume that the dark line is green and the pale line is yellow!

Also scrapping a large air filter element for a constricted one is never a good idea.

Today I have finally received my v5 for Temeraire. Only taken 2 months. Unfortunately I had to change the taxation class from disabled to car so it had to be done on paper via the post office instead of online. I just find it amusing that dvla can indulge in industrial action because there's too much work for too few people like that is somehow going to improve the situation. In the real world I have been swearing quite hard at them.

It adapts the rear axle to a 'floating' shaft and makes use of front bearing/hub assemblies to provide a much stronger and easier to replace rear wheel bearing. All 4 wheels now use the same bearing carrier and stub axle mounting arrangement, which is easy to swap and only a small spare part to carry :-) 

I make the adapter plates that go with these particular axle shafts (see Brett aka Maverick for the shafts)...

Here is some photo of my rear axle hub after the conversion has been done using parts from Riccy, Brett and Mr Suzuki.
Halfs-hafts only do torque transfer with this setup. Wheel bearing and ABS sensor have been relocated.

"facade wrote" means I quoted his post so I don't know the price.
Neither if it actually reads Suzuki codes or does not.
