For triple carbs, are air horns required or an option?

With triples, air-horns are certainly not an option, but rather a requirement. The air horns help straighten the air as it enters the carb, which in the end results in a more accurate fuel delivery. Since the K&N setup requires air-horn removal to allow any sort of appreciable gap between the carb and the top of the filter housing, they are not very desirable for triple setups. A much more preferred solution is to use ITG filters (I prefer the individual filters rather than one large one) and proper air-horns between 40m and 50mm tall. You can buy the ITG filters from Motorsports Auto and air-horns can be bought from a myriad of places and range from fairly cheap steel units to very nice anodized aluminum pieces. Either way, the ITG filter and air-horn setup will offer much better performance.

 

This was my triple setup, with ITG filters in place before I converted to a cold airbox.
