Well, the worst of your examples, from a performance aspect, was the last: these are not proper velocity stacks, nor are they proper air filters. The best, IMHO, would be Tintops.

what would you consider proper velocity stacks so i can substitute them out?

[scottly]

The most important feature of a velocity stack is the belled opening.

any in particular that you like or pretty much any stack with the belled opening?

[Flying J]

[scottly]

You do know that Scottly is talking about Carpy's stacks.?   No need to sub out tintops stacks, they are exactly right.....

Ya I know. When I say "velocity stacks" I was reffering to carpy's

[scottly]

Carpy=Crappy. Sorry, but no self respecting cafe bike would wear those. They look my sorry attempt to form a piece of aluminum vacuum-cleaner pipe into a stack for my C200 90 when I was 14 years old, and what is with the massive finned clamp?

I think he made them for a customers bike. So what do you think of his exhaust systems?

[Retro Rocket]

The Yoshi replica's are ok, they are a copy of the 1970's yoshi that was made specifically for these bikes....

[orkid1989]

Cool. I was looking into getting a set. The blacked out ones look awesome

[Flying J]

If you could only find out who is building them for him, you could likely get them for half the price.

[scottly]

I have no opinion on the exhaust. (you would have to pay me $60 a piece to mount those stacks on my bike, and I would promptly throw them in the recycle bin with the beer cans after the photo shoot. )

They are only $400. $200 sounds even better though

That looks like it might be effective as far as keeping small birds from being sucked through your carbs, but that's about it. What does it look like from the inside; are the entrances to the carbs bell-mouthed? Looks to be a fairly heavy piece, as well.

[orkid1989]

They have built in velocity stacks and their is a filter inside. Basically just looks like a modified stock air box or an older intake called a bread box I think

[scottly]

You can see daylight through the slots in the thick plate; where is the filter? Pics of the built in stacks, please.

Im just going by what the guy emailed me. Here is a link to the product page http://www.steeldragonperformance.com/air_boxes_7.html
