Help With Acoustic Valve Removal

[sam_mcn]

Ok managed to find some instructions for this but still not 100% sure I'm following them correctly.
At the moment I've removed the plastic acoustic valve unit and put everything back together in the way I think it iss meant to be. Photo below shows I have blocked the tube off with a screw. I believe this to be the tube which runs to the engine (metal) itself.

Does this look correct or have I got it completely wrong? Does the wire plug running to the sensor need to be unplugged too?

Or should it look like this?? (Sorry for the huge photos, not sure how to chill them out)

Thanks for help...hoping for a reply before the sun goes down so I can get her back on the road this eve

mate, remove all that piping, making sure you block off the outlet from the front of the throttle butterfly. disconnect the lead and cable tie it out the way.
email me if you want a pic graham_ccm@tiscali.co.uk

rip out the elecrical bit too, trace the pipe that comes off the plenham just next to the TB and block that up

Sorted Thanks for help!

Just taken her for a short drive and engine feels noticeably keener with removal of acoustic valve and addition of ITG panel filter.
I really recommend people do this if they haven't already done so...
I'm probably going to replace the stock air feed pipe with a wider air feed pipe to ensure minimum restriction. What's a good width measurement? 85mm? Is it worth investing in heat shielded piping?
