I'll
bet if you opened them up to a wider angle, and then hogged out the lip,
you'd probably see the same gains you saw by removing them. Stonehenge? LOL

We remove em for 2 main reasons:
1. It looks nice and custom
2. the airhorns get mighty thin as you pull the angle for the new bores.
they have a tendency to crack or break off during "wrenching". I hate to
hear of busted product, so we try to avoid that kind of thing. also, a
cracked horn that was "missed" could be an aluminum M&M for the motor later...
also, flow rate is improved with the older ram or round FIPK style cleaner as
our quickie test on the flow bench showed... when your using the stock
plates, any improvement to flow is a good one!
