I didn't know whether or not it was OK to post this here, so here goes....

 

If you want to get more air to your engine SAFELY then you need to check these out:

Yeah, I've seen them. They look pretty SIC! I'm thinking of gettting me a set. So are you are you adverstising for LUGZ? Does this mean BHQ members get a discount?........

 

Do you have any pics of them installed on a Banshee?

Here's the prototype installed using stock carbs / boots:

Simply loosen ONE boot screw and slide the tube rearward for instant carb access. The bracket is carbon fiber so it's stiff enough to hold the tube in place firmly yet is springy enough to allow it to slide. The bracket's interior is lined with a low friction plastic so the tubes will not get scratched up. The bracket keeps the filters / tubes / carbs from bouncing up and down which will eventually crack your expensive intake boots.

Note that the finish quality of the prototype is not nearly as nice as the production versions.

 

Ever wonder why the chassis of F1 and Indy cars are almost entirely made of carbon fiber? You will understand when you get your hands on these parts...

Any way to just get the bracket without the UNI filters?

how do those tubes hold up too rock hits from the sides?

i know real carbon fiber is strong. but i've seen carbon fiber driveshafts for cars explode from a rock hitting it (looked like a broom and cleaned the undercarriage of the car tho LOL)

How does this give you more air than just clamping filters to your carbs?

<<Any way to just get the bracket without the UNI filters?>>

 

Currently they are sold as a complete set...tubes, filters, bracket, hardware.

 

 

<<how do those tubes hold up too rock hits from the sides?>>

 

Rock impacts won't be any problem. The tubes are much stronger than they really need to be...matter of fact I have STOOD on one (as a demonstration) and I weigh about 170 lbs.

 

 

<<How does this give you more air than just clamping filters to your carbs?>>

 

The main advantage over using 'pod' filters clamped to the carbs is that the weight of the carbs and filters is being carried by the bracket...not just by the intake boots. Also, the length of the velocity tubes forces the airflow to be more linear when passing through the carbs. Another advantage is that it increases the length of the intake tract by almost 12" (to the backside of the filters). To understand why this is beneficial, CLICK HERE to go to the FAQ on Toomey Racing's website. Near the bottom of the page there is an explaination after "Q. Why is there a "Rich Spot" from 4000 to 5000 RPM, and how do I get rid of it?"

Isn't the whole set up like 150 bucks. Pricey as hell IMHO.

Seems like one could rig up some PVC and some elbow grease for cheaper and achieve the same results. Or hell.....even some stainless steel exhaust tubing.

Think about the weight savings though, on both your shee and your wallet. Nothing wrong with a new concept but I don't think I'll be needing one any time soon.
