Well, yes and no. I'm not talking about the factory accordion intakes … I've already replaced those with the Z1 silicone post MAF tubes. I'm talking about the PCV "baffle box-tubing" arrangements that run off the side of the intake tubes toward the rocker cover. They're a rather intricate and complex design that some engineer must have spent several days thinking about. I'm not sure why such a complex design is needed compared to the Z1 PCV breather hose set which consists of short 1/2" hoses fitted with restrictors that attach to the post-MAF tube. I'm just wondering why the factory arrangements are so intricate, what with the baffle boxes and all. I can't imagine that there isn't some purpose to the design. I guess I'd also be interested in knowing whether folks who have installed the Z1 breather hoses have had any issues with them. Thanks again for any input.
