The baffles, eh? Kinda baffles me about what he is talking about. The head has poor flow down to 5 and 6 due to some castings, but I don't think they are removable.

could this possibly the baffle like tube on the plastic intake tube? like some people remove them and use a smooth bore piece, just like the aftermarket setups you can buy...afe,s&b etc?

Yes, some of the Common Rails will have a baffle that will reduce engine noise. We do not have anything like that.

Yeah, I think hes refering to the ripples in the stock plastic intake tube.
