Pods Vs Air Box. Dyno and Road Testing

[Monster750ie]

Cut your exhaust headers down to about 2" -- 2" from the exhaust port.

Weld a kazoo on one port, and a duck call on the other port.

It will be the loudest, most annoying monster EVER!

I stand corrected. This would net a more annoying monster.

If you are after a harsher sound, I found the pods combined with free flowing pipes like Termis, Leo Vince, Arrow, etc made for a more strident engine note. I found the pod's intake sound quite harsh and not as deep as the open air box. It actually started to annoy me. So if you want a harsh sound, less weight , a tough looking intake,  easy access to servicing your carbs and  possibly less restriction of air flow to the rear cylinder, then fit pods.
In the end I went with the open air box and modified velocity stacks.

Hey j v, how's that air box going?
What about you Tiz, made a fibreglass box yet?

I haven't extended the stocker yet, waiting to see what you guys come up with.
