New pipes, BAK and Ivanized. But I have a question

Would it be worth the effort to put the factory air package back on as a test and "see" if the extra sounds disappeared?

Same thing with Thunder air kit....... lots of new noises. Can't really hear them at 4,000 rpm with the V&H slip-ons, though.

If you took Chucksters BAK off what do you have on their now ?
The factory air intake does a pretty good job of masking the noises you were hearing.

Greetings,
I am back to all stock. I had taken the left side off and the crossover tube. With all that plastic removed, the sounds from the throttle body clicking and sucking was ... irritating.

Ride safe,

I did the same, for the same reason... Now K&N OEM replacement filter, no noise, and thanks to Ivan so little difference in power that I don't notice the difference between either intake in that respect.
