Anyone have a sound / video file demonstrating airbox honk?

Why do you need zipties for it? Shouldn't the vacuum of the intake hold the filter in place? At least in the short term, take the bike around the block to see if you like it...

not if you plan on doing wheelies casue the new sound drives you insane.

Hey, my airbox looks like that too. Except with a different air filter.

Don't forget that there's a pronounced "whuuup whuuup whuuup whuuup" at idle. Love that.
I've only gotten to ride it once since I've had it opened up. And at every opportunity I was giving a lot of throttle so I could hear the cow gurggling/gasp.

Very sweet, thanks...I do much better with the visuals!

My intake has a whistle at idle :p I can't really hear the intake when I get on it, I hear the exhaust note.

I like the sound on the overrun, there is a place on my 'route' that has high walls either side of the road, on approach I wind it on a bit then chop the throttle as I enter the 'sound canyon' awesome sound.

Would anyone say that the open airbox sound is similar to pod filters? Just curious.....

Yes. My friend described it as sounding like "Jenna Jameson playing the trombone." Yeah, I'm not sure what that means either, but I like the sound. TT

I've read much on the lid removal creating a loud intake honk, but I can't imaging what it sounds like. I'm trying to decide whether or not to do the mod. My Arrow exhausts are already pretty obnoxious, so I can't imagine hating the new sound. I tend to like induction noise but don't know what it sounds like on a big desmo twin.

Any examples and/or thoughts?

yeah they do.

My favorite airbox sound is the waffling/woofling when you're on part throttle and it sounds like sometimes the air goes over the box and sometimes through the filter...like it can't decide.

Centerline, that was great, thanks!

Was that with or w/o earplugs?

I'll be trying that on my bike soon.
