I've noticed that a lot of profiles state an upgrade from an XB9 Air Box to a XB12 Air Box. Is there a difference? What's the difference? And is it worth upgrading my XB9s Air Box to a XB12 Air Box? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Brad.

There is a "nipple" just above the velocity stack on the 12 airbox (and the '05 9SX airbox) that helps to direct airflow a little better. It's worth a few HP and is widely considered to be the best bang for your buck upgrade to an 03/04 984.

Hey Don-

I currently have a 2003 XB9s Buell. Do I need to upgrade both the interior airbox that houses the aircleaner and the Exterior to the XB12s Air Box?

Brad,

Just the interior box. That is where the magic happens. It's good for 3-4 hp for only $30-35.

Your existing outer box is the same for all XB models.

"There is a "nipple" just above the velocity stack on the 12 airbox"

M1 does that come with the 12 airbox or is it an actually part of the airbox?

It's molded into the 12 airbox.

It is molded into the inner airbox on all the 05 models (i.e. 9sx), and was on the 04 XB12 models.
