Believe me it does Quieten it right down, It doesn't stop it altogether but it makes it almost unnoticeable I have ridden two Rockets which had them (OzClaw) fitted one was belonging to Les (
@ozrider) himself and the other which I did thousands of miles on whilst I was in the States earlier this year belonging to Morris (
@R3Tex, who I am going to be forever in debt too for his and his lovely wife Cindy's hospitality and kindness) and it was enough to convince me that even thou I love the Look I have achieved with my K&N RX 4040's and I love the induction roar but at times would like to hear a little less of it, so I am working with Les to develop an OzClaw to cover the bigger 4040's but still retain the Ramair type inlet look.
So what I am saying here is put up with the cricket till you can scrape the money together for the OzClaw and I doubt you will regret it
