Re: Volvo valve in air intake

["Jim Reeve" <ultra@xxxx>]

Yes, it does add a bit of restriction to the air intake. This is one 
reasons why I removed my whole assembly and put a generic intake hose 
from the filter box to the elbow by the pontoon. There isn't too much 
noticeable difference, but I could feel a slight boost at high rpms in 
higher gears. The other reason I removed this off of my car was 
because mine was rusting, and fileing a hole into the aluminum cooling 
line which it rubs. Anyone with this still in place really should 
check that alumimum pipe for wear.
