Got some of them on my VW T4 Transporter to block off the egar valve, so the engine runs cleaner. Think they were about �3 off eBay.

So if I wanted to blank off the AIS I can just shove a suitably sized bolt into the pipe from the airbox, and this will cure the backfire???
The bolt cant get sucked anywhere ..right... and cause any damage
And it doesnt throw any weird issues with management systems on the bike.
Still unsure of whether I like the bangs or not on my newly de catted standard exhaust, they dont seem to bad once the bike is warmed up, but I havent had a proper day out on it yet to see if it annoys too much or not, Im thinking it may
Can someone confirm that if it was to be left to pop and bang, that it has no detrimental effect to the engine or running of the bike ??

Block off the AIS pipe & you will be fine no side affects with your aftermarket cans.

I had a Hinckley Bonneville with open cans, which popped a lot on the overrun. Entertaining for about a month, and then I got heartily sick of it.

Mine still back fires with every thin blocked off. One can destroyed flames out the rear.I like it cars back off mums grab there kids ,seagulls **** there selves.:pjrmoony_1JJHDG:

The results all depends on which ECU you have, 2004 to 2006 it will reduce the popping, 2007 onwards it will almost stop the popping depending on how rich your bike is at closed throttle.

Well spent the weekend fitting my kev mod and my new leo vince exhausts, and since the bike was in bits i blocked off asi thing aswell only to find my bloody givi racks wont fit with the leos , never mind , but no popping and banging though lol

Is this the correct pipe to block off for AIS as I've blocked it off and it's still popping and banging.

A I S Pipe
 

No! That's the crankcase breather. Don't block that - crankcase pressure will increase with the risk of blown gaskets, O-rings and oil leaks etc.

The AIS pipe is on the same side, but higher up and travels over the top of the engine to the AIS valve.
