Hi guys,
I have a 2003 vts recently noticed on the standard airfilter tht the pipe attached to the box attached to the inlet manifold the pipe between the two has split in two :/ what will this affect as car doesn't seem as quick?

Thanks

The engine is potentially taking in unfiltered air and you will be affected by heatsoak from the engine. Not a massive thing though tbh just get that pipe replaced.

I have to agree. You engine may be receiving air that is not filtered as a result of a worn out air filter pipe. You should have no trouble replacing the air filter (http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/air_filters~pop.html) pipe.
