Title: sound/heat pad under S2R tank removal Post by: killerniceguy on March 18, 2009, 03:42:16 PM Has anyone removed the sound/heat pad under the S2R tank? I would like to take it out to get more snort from my open airbox but worry about the heat issue on the bottom of the tank. Thoughts?

It's just held on by velcro so have at it...

I did notice a decrease in valve noise with it on. I didn't like the valve noise, so I keep it on. I am of the minority in this aspect. :-\ Title: Re: sound/heat pad under S2R tank removal Post by: Takster on March 20, 2009, 06:51:38 AM I did notice a decrease in valve noise with it on.
