at AIR they make you remove the spare wheel as part of scrutaneering.

but as mentioned, its a cold air intake thing.

It makes my VL got 2 seconds quicker.....

It actually does nothing. The amount of air flow is minimal on a N/A car.

The extra weight of da sub-woofas is compensated by the extra propulsion of da sub-woofas if you point them rearwards
