harbinger of death Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 The one piece intakes have the crossover tube built in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Here is some pic's of my one pice Boss Intake. The built in crossover is nice. Really cleans up the area. Plus you can replace the intake rubbers pretty cheaply 10-15 bucks each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been running a billet 2 piece without a crossover for quite sometime and would be willing to change to a single with the crossover if there was some gains to be had.

jbooker82 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I dont think there is any performance gain. I think the crossover tube wether it is in a boss intake or in the stock rubber boots just help balance out the Idle and off idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts96fast Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Are the boss intakes shorter than the pro-design intakes? Be nice to move the air box back to it's stock location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Are the boss intakes shorter than the pro-design intakes? Be nice to move the air box back to it's stock location. Jacking your post. Reading the above, I assume you have larger carbs with the 2 piece intake and still running the airbox? I just received 33PWK's and THIS intake from F.A.S.T. and I really need to run the airbox. I am travelling so have not tried to fit it to the bike, but I am sure there will be some problems. If you are running with an airbox, do you mind posting some pics of your set-up? Much appreciated. Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the intake, not sure who makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4speed Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 those look like the whiteknuckle ones.I'm pretty sure you'll have to cut the box to fit the carbs in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yea have fun with the air box. When I first got my banshee it has PJ34's with just the UPP racing larger intake boots so it was pretty much the same as stock only larger opeaing for the larger carb. It was a pain trying to wedge those carbs in and out with the air box. It aslo had the the air box tubes trimed to make them a little shorter, and had some different rubber couplers to go from the carbs to the air box. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks Josh, I have the bigger rubber connectors for the airbox and also a spare airbox, just looking for ideas before I start cutting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 you could always try using some rubber boots from a hardware store to close up a gap.. you can usually find a ton of different sizes in the plumbing section.. most come with clamps even.

dajogejr Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 His two piece intakes are for the larger carbs (which I use) and are very nice. I like the fact they bring the carbs closer to the motor. The smaller carb'd versions of his intakes have the crossover built in and spacers as well.

Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the intake, not sure who makes them. I run 28 pwk's with v-3 reeds and pro-design intakes.The carbs are like 7 years old.My buddy has the same set up,but with stock intakes and the air box is fine.His carbs are a year old.

scotts96fast Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Other than the lenth difference if any...What is the difference between pro-design,whiteknucle and boss intakes for preforamance?The tunnels are totally different on all three.
