You can bend it to make it larger or smaller as needed...but certainly big enough for a water bottle with a hugger.....foam koozy would depend on the thickness of the koozy, but again, you could "make it fit" very easily.

So u think that adding high flow cats and high flow side mufflers and delete center muffler and replace with x pipe(plus saving weight) only adds 5 hp and does not add to performance??

Here is what I do to prevent wind buffeting. Keep the windows up and put the top down...

If you drive with the windows down, you need these or equivalent. I have the Blackmills ones, but the AWE versions look more like they were original equipment.

I do and I did...
The only issue is being a little intimidated by taking that much apart, but the instructions are great and if you are reasonably mechanically skilled...no big deal.
