Sir, you’re quite cantankerous and insulting. Especially coming in as a brand new member talking smack. You have an opinion as valued as anyone else's, but a little courtesy and respect would go a long way...😊Hilarious.
Awesome zinger to talk about airflow and proper design then use expandable hoses with corrugated sides. 😂😂😂
The irony is dripping........
(Even if you don’t know it)
TIME TO SCHOOL....
Evidently one of those folks that think if you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a set-up its no good....
Length of run and minimized curves. Your XRAY vision is off since you can no longer see through the plastic at a now more straight airflow.
Stop being a troll dude...you are confusing AIRFLOW with AIR RESISTANCE
TIME TO SCHOOL...last time for free...😂😂😂
Corrugated hose compared to plugged up filter every 200 miles...hmm...see? Strike one for you...
If you were running an 800 HP 502 at the drags you would want smooth flow, just like porting and polishing heads...on a 1000cc mc/sxs NON-MODIFIED engine those ribs aren't doing diddly..
Vacuum gauge through the RPM range shows absolutely NO resistance at neither the beginning nor end of ride so airflow is spot on. If you haven't taken any vacuum readings then you don't know how restrictive things get. No one is checking half way through a dusty ride.
I AM a professional auto and diesel tech as well as heavy equipment mechanic so I just MAY know something about this stuff.
STRIKE 2 for you...
Apparently not NE stripping runner...I did a lot of prep and designs to make this happen and to make sure it worked right the FIRST time..which it did.. And just maybe some others out there like it and would like to do it on their own. Ans all u can do is TRY and find fault...
One size doe NOT fit all....but if it builds your self esteem up by finding fault in others to make you feel more of a man, and i use that term VERY loosly, then Ill pray for you... STRIKE 3...you are OUTTA HERE!
So to keep this from becoming a 'thing" , you did your thing, I did mine, so move on...
Hasn't run this good even when good...turns my 32s like nothing.
Tried and true...super dusty Saturday and pouring rain all day Monday...213 miles and works perfect.
Ill go 1000 miles before ever needing to open that factory box again...and that is just to check.
Massive K&N with screen will do all the work and MY setup eliminates water entry though the intake...my factory one DID NOT...it still sucked snow and water mist in converting the dust to mud.
I get aesthetics...I really do...but for me Im all about function AND looks. Got a ton of compliments on how it looked and the box was a quickie build for the upcoming ride...the only body cutting was the small black vent that is easily replaced. I may just leave it the way it is. Looking good means nothing if you are trashing an engine in the process. My Popo joke was always " at least you look good when you're sitting broke down". 😂
The UNI is great alternative...and I ALMOST ran it...BUT you still have to disassemble the air box and filter....I can just take a quick peak and easily remove for cleaning. If I had that UNI on mine Saturday it would've been plugged up, guaranteed...Once it loads up on ya and kills those $30n a piece spark plugs like mine did with the factory filter plugged up with 300 miles it tends to make you rethink other designs. ..buddy just put a new filter in Friday night, Mav X3 Turbo RR...Running rough Sunday so he pulled it and it was shot...it was THAT bad...
