you will need the trumpets with the airbox, and you will need them without it.

the airbox keeps the noise down a bit if you need the restriction for competition (and it kinda looks cool)

engine noise is not normally a problem as when the engine is not under load its almost silent, at 4k (the test rpm level) ive not even had filters for ages an mine passes every time

I thought the Irmscher airbox bolts onto the carbs in a way that you can't have trumpets. :?

Proper trumpets with a rolled edge (like I've got! :wink: ) and smooth out airflow and draw in more air than just the carb by itself - so all the books say.
