I would have thought that you will really need some sort of curved ram pipes even if they are only short ones. The airflow won't be as good aroundthe sharp corners into the carbs/TB's if you have nothing at all. This would lead to less power/torque.

Cheers

Can't speak for the zx12 specifically, but on my Zx10's if you remove the airbox they run like a complete bag of poo - ridiculously weak, won't rev out, popping banging etc. - quite incredible difference. You might get away with a very short ram tube, but would expect to need to rejet.

hi mark and how are you hope your ok .as for mr gr was his imp racing ? and if so how did it go? also need to send you the clocks ups sorry i will get them off to u mate if you still want them? hows the gsxr lump is all good ? iv not got much room with the ram pipes on so they will have to go to give more room so i can lift the engine a bit more due to the sump being 3inc of the deck
