There certainly was, for the UK-spec 1500's. I installed the 2-hose setup on my HS2's, and I actually did an experiment where I measured the air temp at the carb throat while driving. The addition of the housing and hoses lowered the air temp quite a bit, especially when stuck in traffic in the summer.
