I agree, those look nice. Heavy price tag but I think the quality and performance looks good. Probably the way I'm gonna go.

Oh.. and I beg to differ Foxster... tuning the runner length for the intake pulses, is just as important as tuning the exhaust for the exhaust pulses.

If your pockets are deep enough I really suggest the Roland sands intakes. That's what my dad and I are running and they rock!

You will never find that on a dyno. The only slight difference you can get is with and without an air cleaner.

Once an air cleaner can flow as much as the engine can draw it makes zero difference on the dyno. Only for engines with a big flow (stage-3, big CC kit, etc) will you see any advantage of an A/C with a bigger surface area than the majority of good aftermarket stage-1 ones.

The only other exception I can think of is if you have a reversion pulse from a poorly tuned exhaust causing a big stand-off of fuel/air at the carb/throttle-body mouth. Then a long intake is important.

Hey Ray. Looks like it would run great on the street. Love to hear more about the bike, ie. air cleaner info, motor build specs, dyno sheet and Bonneville records.

Yep, but I'm not talking about how much an air cleaner can flow, I'm talking about the intake runner length that's tuned. The intake return pulses are not caused by a bad exhaust, it's the column of air hitting the back of the closing/closed intake valve, and that wave moving back up the runner. Anyway...
