I'm gonna have to talk to some mechanics for this one....
And that's what I did. I got a hold of my nephew in the States and he said that although it is do-able I'd have to be careful not to burn out my exhaust valves.
If the exhaust doesn't offer enough back pressure, then it would flow too much air and along with reduced power, there would be the risk of burning out the exhaust valves.
So, I'll go with a pod on the air filter chamber intake. That'll be the cheaper option anyway. I will also see if I can't add a bit of baffle to whatever slip-on I decide on - as long as it doesn't kill the sound too much.
Edit: The intake pipe on the air filter chamber is 67mm outside diameter. We'll have to see if I can find something that big or if I need to mod an inner pipe to use as a connector. I also worry about water getting kicked up the from back tire onto the filter and may have to figure our some kind of a "fender" to put on the frame under the back of the seat, down to the swingarm.
