I keep looking at this and thinking it might actually work for my no-link. There's so much taken of the bottom front of the box that I don't think it would hit the shock

I'm going to order 3 of these for testing, Then I can send one out to see. I figured for the no link I'd have to move the airbox back a little more.

Looks Awesome Troy. I'm anxiously waiting and hoping this will solve some of the problems I was having in my last race.

Kyle wanted to see the airbox with the 06+ UNI filter installed. I could probably tweak the design to make this work, but I'm not sure how much clearance is between the top of the stock box and the bottom of the seat. To get that one in there I'd need to tuck the filter as high as possible under the seat:

If it was tapered like I tried to get them do a custom one for me it would work. THey would make a custom shorter filter 2" shorter if I ordered 100 at a time.

Tapered:

2" shorter, this they will do but its a custom filter

I assume the box is so short for caliper clearance?

troybilt · « **Reply #66 on:** August 19, 2015, 08:06:22 AM »

Correct, I can lengthen the floor of the box some though.

Boom! Complete redesign of the intake tube, huge volume = massive big power increases. This will be made from PU rubber material, similar to stock only stiffer.

It looks great. But i think your right that the 450r standard filter is probably just to big. Oh well. The finished product looks great. You need to get these in to production asap so we can start buying them.

That "Re-designed" Air boot looks just like a stock yfz450 is that where the idea for the shape came from?

Your old "elsinore" frame is just waiting for one of these!!!

The shape idea came from trying to fit in the space we have to work with, but yes a yfz intake will fit a 250r, so there is some cues from that as well. I've been working on a yfz450r intake for awhile now, I have over 200 pulls on my yfzr alone on my dyno... I went a totally different direction with the yfz intake, I'm now making huge gains with the intake. Just trying to figure out a box to finish the package for the yamahammer... LOL! The yfz has horrible space-claim issues for intakes, especially with big body shocks... gets real tight.

Honestly I would hate to run a K+N. But pair it with an Outerwear and it should be ok.

The box and intake would be such an improvement that I probably wouldn't mind.

troybilt · « **Reply #73 on:** August 20, 2015, 11:28:24 AM »

You all should check out S&B filters as well, they are 8 ply and about half the price of K&N. (worth mentioning)

I would like to see this bolted to my Lobo chassis and run it thru the suspension travel. The no link may require extending out the front airbox mounts and moving the "front" of the airbox rearward maybe about two inches. My Lobo subframe has the front airbox mounts to run a stock box, in the stock location, with a stock intake boot, but none of those components work with the large no link shock. I heard Doug Roll had his own airboxes originally that probably fit ok with that setup, but like the LSR no link airboxes, they never caught on. Everyone with a Lobo just hacked apart a stock box and ran intake boot extensions and secured the airbox with zip ties to the subframe.

Edit: A good friend of mine owns a cold air induction company. He has about everything I could want at his disposal. I have thought about sitting down with him and coming up with something to work on the no link chassis.
