Yes, with the breathe sweet being freer flowing.

I've been considering the same change on one of mine and also putting a breath sweet on a currently open mouthed carb, guess it will involve a new round of plug chops

It would, my current ram air has developed a split in the foam I noticed at VMSC coventry the other day so have been considering it but with a replacement ram air at £15 and a breathe sweet (out of stock anyway at camlam) at £45 I just dont think I can bring myself to spend an extra £30 on foam :-/

I run a breathe sweet (GT186/30phbh) and haven't changed the jetting and would say it makes either a minuscule or no difference to airflow. Quality product in my opinion.

Especially as they probably cost about 20p to make.

Get down to your local MX shop and you can buy as much foam as you like and make your own.

I bought something the other day that came packed in sheets of what looked to be exactly the same stuff that air filters are made of.

The tricky bit is getting it attached to the carb in a secure and effective way.
