Re: Replacing Intake/box with aftermarket filters.
Blaine,
Thanks! It will be positioned where the box currently exists. I wanted to re-arrange the electrical and battery placement. It seems like i would gain space by doing so. My bike has been rejetted, according to the previous owner anyway when he installed the cusom exhaust. I think I'll tinker with it and see. Thanks again! Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Replacing Intake/box with aftermarket filters.
If he rejetted for exhaust, you will still have to rejet when you change the intake. The intake is far more restrictive than the exhaust.

Re: Replacing Intake/box with aftermarket filters.
why is it no one seems to understand if you mess with exhaust it alters the amount of air the engine can injest, just like messing with the intake. they go hand in hand. mess with either one and you must undermost circumstances rejet!! ill bet you all money on this i swear. if you can get more air out, you can get more air in, common principle. engine = airpump.

Switching from a restrictive factory air box system to the very open flow of a pod filter is a more drastic change than simply replacing the factory exhaust. That's why, unless you are placing the headers, the muffler part of an exhaust is simply called a slip-on and often times doesn't require a rejet. However, as you said, every bike is different and giving a blanket answer doesn't cover the hiccups that some people will run into. |
