Re: Something new for the RC51 (MSchu)
The fit is very tight but the carbon work is pretty rough with this particular box. It must be a very early model as the new ones look very good.

to enclose a filter that haults debris from entering the engine.

I find it hard to imagine that your stock airbox was 7lbs heavier.
What is the added volume going to translate to in terms of power/throttle response?

To add to his question, will you have to have it tuned for the more air flow to make a big difference? Im saying you would..just wondering for later on with my RC..Also heard it doesn't make a big difference without exhaust (which u have i guess)..

Re: Something new for the RC51 (fatboy01)
The OEM lid weighs as much as the whole carbon piece.
Don't forget that the OEM box has weighted noise dampers, lids, acoustic chambers, and two filters.
Yes, Slid, I will be tuning it for this setup. Most of the guys on Speedzilla are posting 127+ wheel HP with the airbox, free mods, and slip-ons after tuning.

Damn thats a heavy box. I think my f3 airbox was around 4-5lbs with a filter, and the 929 box was pretty light once I removed the pair system. But I've never seen an RC airbox... regardless, congrats on the weight savings and added power
