Went for a blast without airbox

#1 Post by paddyz1 » Fri Mar 02, 2007 6:37 pm

Went out today on a five mile blast.

Had no airbox and no stacks on. The roar :smt003 :smt003 :smt003 :smt003

Also had the ecu that I got off tree tops and my modified exhausts.

sounds f_cking awsome :smt003

Cant wait to get the airplate finished. then I will put in the 54mm bodies and convince the wife that I need a PC111

Had a slight flatspot around 2000rpm,after that it was grinfactor 9 :smt002

Bit risky paddyz1 a small piece of grit or stone could do real damage to your motor.

Yup, the amount of air these motors suck in, that was a brave move alright, but I bet the sound was worth it!

Oh yes it was worth it. The exhausts I have been modding (paddycans :smt001 ) were on so I thought "f_uck it", its been a few months since I rode her and as the airbox was already off I thought I would stick the renegade chip in and go for a quick blast.

The sound was beautiful from the cans and the roar thar cam from the airbox gave me a hard on :smt028

Got to find me a filter now and get the plate fabbed up.
