I am in the process of putting an SBD throttle body kit on my X16XE, i've done the majority of the work but i've come to fit the trumpets / air horns (I have the shorter 40 / 48mm trumpets as I was told the longer trumpets wouldn't fit as I have the bulkhead / fire wall thingy in place).
The problem is the diameter of the trumpets is to large to enable them to sit flush on the air filter backing plate, i've spoken to SBD and I apparently have the correct ones but I need to machine them down slightly (approxiamtely 5mm off each looking at it)
now my question, I assume other people have done this or is SBD telling me porkies?
also looking at when its all fitted it appears the longer 90mm trumpets would fit ok, does anyone have these fitted to the 1600 throttle body kit and the bulkhead / firewall in place and a pic if possible?
Cheers
