Running bad because it has no air box and vent lines to carbs are unhooked so float bowl pressure is incorrect. Also no canisters on the pipes doesnt help.

If it's running bad now I can't wait to see it run with everything connected! It actually runs very nice.

Managed to get the pipes to fit in, cut the top of the shock tower off - it was added to "make room for the xtra 12 suspension" but there is no way that shock ever goes up in that space and it is obvious if you take a good look at it. So off it went and now the pipes fit. Had to cut a new exhaust outlet hole and the front bumper mount will have to be relocated as the pipe came in contact with it.

Pics soon.

I just mean that its rich, once you get the airbox and the can on the idle will come down it it will run much crisper.

X2, I think maybe those are the PSI modblaster pipes that have the silencers built into them.

Ya i figure it will come down once the airbox is installed, just getting an SLP airbox now.

The pipes have a downpipe that I just installed, it makes them quieter as well, this thing does run very well. can;t wait to see how the clutch kits work.

your right, the silencer was built into the pipe on those but they also had a short exit pipe that ran out of the pan, makes them notably quieter. Still a goofy design to this day, but they made decent power.

Ya they look goofy for sure, like spaghetti coming out the back of the pipes.
