Thanks Jack that does clear it up quite a bit for me. I should have thought of that but it just never occured to me that air induction does occur in discrete pulses same as exhaust. It makes perfect sense though. I just finished installing the Gotts, I did it the same as yours. I test drove it and it seems to drive about the same as the S&B and I have a longer trip to go on
tomorow so I'll find out if I'm still getting the better fuel ecomomy the S&B was giving me. If I'm not, I think I'll try to reach up inside the intake tube and plug or tape over the holes the lead into the silencer. I might do this anyway to see if its safe to remove it without getting that droning noise back. The darn thing does look pretty stupid. If all else fails I may just buy the airforce 1 intake but its so expensive I find it hard to justify the cost from a return on investment standpoint. It would be a "because its cool" purchase as opposed to the easier kind where justify it to myself as saving money in the long run.
Thanks for all the advice.
Joe
