Do the 1st and 2nd gen 10's have the large holes in each side of the frame between the ram air inlet and the airbox?
The 3rd gen has holes in each side. Maybe 2 1/2" in diameter that appear to vent (best i can rememer) out of the lower part of the frame around the pegs.
I can only think of a couple reasons these holes are there.
First thing that comes to mind is noise reduction. If thats the purpose of the holes, I wonder what the gains would be if these holes were covered. I'm thinking the airbox pressure would increase quite a bit.
Do they help the Velocity of the air and keep it less turbulent maybe?
Any other idea's?
With the airboxes on the 3rd gens being so different that previous years, it just made me wonder if they have these holes as well.
