I bought a stainless dual exhaust made by Dragon Custom called Double Shot. It came with a matching stainless air box replacement. All of the components are "easy to look at" meaning very nice quality materials and superior welds. Installation of the exhaust required fabricating mounts. The instructions said drill hole in trailing arm, but there was an inch and a half gap. I used 1/2" electrical EMT (conduit) with rubber hose inside (SHADE TREE BUSHING) to fill the void between the bolt and the EMT. Sound is a little more than I had expected. The air box is like the woman that is SO hot, but not a keeper. (SORRY GALS) It again required the custom touch. I had to saw off 1 3/4" from the mounting flange and re-drill the holes to get things to line up. The maiden voyage was a dud! The filter is SO small that my son's 50cc left me in the dust. I disconnected the hose just to let it breathe. PRICE $150- US

I got a screaming deal on the same air box over the winter, and like you, no-go. I didn't even post it because it's not worth it. I havent even tried to resell it because I wouldnt do that to someone. The filter is tiny, (K&N style) and way restrictive. If I could put my UNI in it, maybe.... but I like my current set up.

It was requested I provide more on the bushings I needed to fabricate. I started with a length of electrical conduit (1/2" EMT) and an old washing machine hose. [/img] With the head pipe installed, I measured the gap while my son held the rest of the exhaust system in place. Very much a two man job ! These are after pictures, but you get the idea. [/img] Hacksaw and razor knife, cut a length of both. One inside of the other, some black paint for that finished look. [/img] Final photos. [/img] I'm thinking of fabricating a custom baffle, this dude is loud. Looks cool though.
