My job is a cross between mechanical and electrical engineer, more interested in the mechanical side though.
Ed - stock replacements are more popular for most people who don't want to change too much. No one is restricted by the air box if they don't want to be.

Forge seems to have outstanding customer service. I ordered one yesterday from the UK site. (I didn't ask for it to be filled in the US, my oversight.) But, today I received an email saying that they noticed I was in the US and I'd do better getting it from their Orlando office. The UK people sent my order to FL and they will be taking care of it. That's good, pro-active customer service.
Check this email out:

I had placed my order online at the UK Forge site and, unlike Mvaldes, had requested processing by the Forge US site, (not without some concern).
Well, that concern was completly unfounded: not only did the UK site confirm receipt, but Jeff Orlando appears to be on top of things as well!
All of these recently developed intake hose applications originate at the stock air box connection.
...Ummm....no we're not..if you missed the signature after the post it stated "mod the hell out of it"...so I did... and it originates from the stock box using the original outlet...
...a good tip I have for cleaning it to keep it looking lovely is to wipe it clean with baby oil (I hope that's not just an English thing and I have just said something disgusting).
OMG - most of this thread passes right over me, but that was funny.... Do you have to squeeze the babies really tight to get baby oil?
OK, levity over, carry on modding the hell out of it.

Looks like somebody forgot to take their meds. Looks like you got a bad case of tight bend. Did you forget to look at your previous flow chart or was your altimeter stuck??? Barney O. (Home of the Wedgie)
