I have noticed that Big Healeys make a raspy air intake noise which I suspect is due to the sucking air through the "steel wool" stock air filters. I cleaned and refurbished mine but they don't seem very efficient to me and I really don't like the raspy noise. By way of comparison, Denis Welch has a modern foam filter that they say adds 8hp!
I would like to keep a stockish look so I have considered cutting them open and inserting air filter foam inside. It might be possible to remove the rear mesh and the "steel wool" through the carb hole. Has anyone done anything like that? Advice?
