Author Message   Trouble_enabler Posted on Monday, August 31, 2009 - 11:54 pm:        Are there differences in S3 lowers from 97-98 models and 99-02 models? Any easy way to identify them if there are no part numbers? Thanks! Mike   Ebutch Posted on Tuesday, September 01, 2009 - 10:23 am:        Yes!!1997 1998 Right side lower is notched out for header.

I've got some old ones and new ones both I can take a look at if need be. I bought a black '99, met the guy at the shop, and he forgot the lowers. I figured it would be no big deal since I had a set at home. I don't remember the details, just that months later when I went to put them on they didn't match. If I'd realize how much they went for I'd have pursued getting them. They probably got sold on ebay by now, ,or there's a set sitting in a garage in Chicago collecting dust   Trouble_enabler Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 12:16 am:        Thanks for the info. Here are the pics I received on them. From what ebutch is saying, these may be 99-02?

Wonder if my older style header will work with them.   Trouble_enabler Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 12:50 am:        Phillip, you running the breadbox air filter on yours? I just realized, it looks like the right side mount connects to that piece...not sure if I want to put that back on...   Pkforbes87 Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 02:04 am:        Yeah I'll run a breadbox only because of the lowers. I'd rather use a FW, but that would look a little odd. Besides, the FW is a PITA during rain and IMO causes a slight power loss. I'm trying to keep the S3 a more practical project regardless of what would look better.   Ebutch Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 12:59 pm:        Micheal:Bottom or right lower is 97- 98 Right lower.Can be used 1997-2002 S3 or S3T They look nice regardless of Pipes.But 97,98 headers are what there for.   Trouble_enabler Posted on Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - 07:48 pm:        Thanks Ebutch, they are for sale in the classifieds. I'm not sure I can use them as I have a race filter on the bike. Someone grab them: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 492042.html?1251775357
