leaveyourego, thanks for the link. Did you find going to a regular air hose improved flow?
Honestly, it's been long enough ago (2008-ish) that I can't remember what the air time was before I did the mod. It's possible the bigger tap performs better, but I couldn't say. Having taken the valve cover off the MV-50 a few times the exhaust port about matches the interior diameter of 1/4" hose, so it might be less restricted this way. I think the bigger benefit of doing it was being able to use the 1/4" NPT fittings. I've busted hoses on the trail before and I like being able to swap a spare in real quick. They're just more commonly available.
