3rd x is a charm on cold air intake system

[figmotoday]

After 3 modifications to develop cold air intake, finally finished effective system. Another set of new pictures, lol. I used feedback from this site & trial & error. Inexpensive parts from local motorider shop (cool place), Ace hardware, & Lowes. I made pre-filters intake caps with plastic drain caps, metal exhaust adapter, & 2 types of motorcycle filter foam from motorider. First foam high rating for capturing moisture with quick dry & second foam high rating for airborn debris. Searched & found motorcylce mushroom filters but didn't fit & have qaulity I wanted. Intake hose is 1.5 inch shop vac hose, best fit & quality I could find. Distribution ends are rubber universal 1.5 inch T joints cut open to distibute air all around JT air filter system. And cable ties to secure hose/system. Plus adding spyder attitude exhaust overall air flow in & out has seemed to improve top speed & snap on the take off.

Let us know how it's working after you've logged some more "Saddle-Time" with it.

Thanx Bob. Will do, put 350 miles yesterday on it, ran great and appeared a little improved over 2 earlier mods. I lucked out, my new mod of pre filter caps with foam was put to the test @ the end of my ride last nite. I hit a huge down pour and ran right through the water & rain with no sputters or stalls. I opened up tupperware when I got home to check mositure. Dry as a bone at JTs air filter & distribution piece and inside of intake hose was dry. One concern I had was the wide open intake allowing debris, moisture, rain, water to run straight into air filter. Even the stock openings for air and/or I think it is a place you can put lights or fog lights lets the rain water run right into engine but the old air box with baffle kept a lot of debris & mositure out but it also kept out a lot of air.

Will do, I saw your set up and explored turbo fans online......................next thing are putting on new tires (leaving a lot of rubber at the track lol) & I'm going with Vee Rubber arachnids and gotta do my oil change and put on new brakes & do the rest of the checklist things in the full manual (great resource)
