Who leaves the flame trap box in on an uprated breather ?

is there any advantage of taking this out ?

cheers

Ive read on here a few people
Stu@MSD being one of them,say that leaving the kidney box on even with
an uprated breather is a good idea!
because of oil movement in hard cornering i think.



(assuming you are talking about a YB engine here!)

like i said in an ealier post, its a bit like leaving the std downpipe and centre section on your exhaust with just a big bore backbox... the std oil seperator can cause a breathing restriction
