Nope,..
I ain't got nothing like that on mine Thank a hell of a lot for that pic Steve.

So just out of curiosity, what exactly is a D&D and why would you do an air-box delete kit,.. which i ASSume means taking out the servo? What's the benefit?

A D&D is a Slip-on exhaust - see description in this Thread.

The reasoning for doing an airbox delete is to gain more power in conjunction with the Exhaust. Either by itself will yield good results, but together they can reach full potential. It's simply getting rid of the inner airbox cover so the filter is exposed to as much air as possible. Airbox Delete DIY Example (Sample Pic below)

Ahhh,.. i see said the blind man. Well kind of,.. i get why the air box delete, that makes sense to me,.. but what is actually done when you add a D&D slip on exhaust? How's the muffler different from stock and how can i verify i actually do have one? What's normally the added boost with these 2 mods? Is there an mpg loss from them or does that all depend on how much you crank the throttle?

your exhaust according to the pictures is not a d&d but is a drummer. The advantages over the stock exhaust is A. they are usually lighter B. freer flowing so it allows that more air you are pumping in on the other side with the air filter mods to escape faster giving you better performance. C. they usually give off a better sound.

i say bridgstone battle axe bto16 3 compound tires! had them for 2 seasons and i finallly had to get new ones!! paid $360 for both new tires!!

if it is A one pice can with a stainless steal cap at the end of it it is a drummer. If it is two pipes with a black metal plate under it it is a D&D.
