Yeah what it does is it evens out the supply of air to all 6 cylinders... Which smooths the idle. But it does restrict the air intake. Doesn't cause any problems removing it... removing it is the cheapest mod you can make
The Series 1 VN's didnt have it and had a rough idle, the bell mouth was one of the ways Holden tried to smooth the Buick 3800's idle.
jswan... Your car is a Series 1 and so it wont have a bell mouth anyway. Ordinarily its located between the plenum and the elbow and its black plastic... But yours wont have one...
Good to finally see pics of your car too mate, looks good!
VN Power!
