Norge airbox mystery foam
« on: July 03, 2025, 12:33:19 PM »
My '07 Norge has this foam in the airbox that does absolutely nothing as far as I can tell, except maybe dampen some resonance or otherwise provide some sound deadening. It disintegrates into dust if you look at it wrong, and I'd like to just remove it:





Can anyone confirm it's function? Am I OK to remove it?

I'd second tossing it out. let us know if it makes a difference to the intake sound.

Sound deadening. Age makes it crumble. Intake roar is as loud as the exhaust, if you can hear it.
