You lose a considerable amount of power having it like that mate. There is going to be a lot of heat soak from the rad straight into your induction.

Get the enclosed when you can afford it, the performance alone is worth it, and it's audible at the right revs ;)

Looking good.

Track days are fun.

You may not suffer as much heat soak as the cone is low down.

I had a piper and it was bloody awful..

Headrests look good too
