Re: Air Box from Italy
I have a Thorsten air box and the quality of the two are very very different just by looking at the air box you are talking about it just doesnt look very well made I would spend the extra $ and get the Thorsten box, if price is a concern he makes them in fiberglass which is less than the carbon fiber. Just my . Honda RC51-the unbelievable Project

Re: Air Box from Italy
I am using the type 2 airbox box (no top and the bottom mounts below the injectors). It made quite a difference as the volume is more than tripled from stock.

Re: Air Box from Italy
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'm not particularly interested in this specific air box.
I thought i would just put it out there for anyone who might be interested in possible alternatives.
I'll definately look into Thorstens airbox, which from what i've read, is a definate must have.
As for the price of this thing, i'll agree that it sounds a bit expensive.

Cheers everyone.
