I bought this air box cover for my 9S.
I am wondering if I have to cut the airbox.
I have a short velocity stack, a cut snorkel, a K&N air filter, Tiforce exhaust with a reloaded ECM.
I don't know if it'll be better, what do you think ?

Nice paint job!

You don't have to cut the airbox, but you won't see any benefit from the airbox cover if you don't.

I have the same cover and I have an open airbox on my bike. I even blocked the hole through the
frame so that my rear cylinder will get more cool air, I will be plenty of intake air as proven by
the new model xb's with the intake around the fuel fill.

Hi Diablo

Is your rear cylinder really cooler ?
your mod might be a good idea, did you see a real benefit ?
thanks

I haven't tested the rear head temp before and after, I just figured that without the
engine drawing air out of the scoop the rear cylinder has to be getting more air flow.
Purely speculative/anecdotal.
