One thing to keep in mind is that M-B was juggling power and comfort. As the ad mentions, that air intake mod will increase the noise level considerably.
Personally, I think it's worth it just to get rid of the stock air cleaner setup. IMHO it's the one genuinely bad design on the 617...I would pay the $165 if I had the $$, but as it is, I'll probably see if I can put together something like that on my own...
