Yes that rubber rug helps to direct cool air into the bottom of the air box and stop hot air from getting sucked up into it

So i broke down and done it, i mod the air box. I drilled 1.5 holes in her, put her all together and started her up. Started fine idle good lets give the throttle a twist. And man the rpm flew all the way to red line wouldnt stop. I freaked out shut it off started it back up and again went to red line @ this point im like wtf. Shut it off again think n to myself why did i even do it. With the engine off twisted the throttle, and started her back up and it seems to be back to norm. Has anyone else encountered this before and what might have caused it?
JT I think you read his post wrong it has nothing to do with the rev limiter the bike instantly revs all the way up to the rev limiter which probably means some sensor unplugged or something or perhaps just a sticky throttle cable the bike would not just do that for any old reason

Yeah i rolled it to see what it would sound like. And then the revs went to red line and wouldnt return to normal position untill i shut it off and then i twisted the throttle once more to see if their was any problem with the throttle cable everything seemed to be fine. I hope you guys are right and it was jus the cable. Will keep my eyes on it and cross my fingers thats all it was and thanks for your replies.
Hey Marthy, what did you use to adhere the stacks into the airbox? I'm thinking of using locktite red but not sure if it'll eat through the rubber sleeve.

I cut off the stock stack and push the aluminum stack inside as far as I could, close to the TB to improve airflow. I think I had to oversize the holes in the airbox a bit since the rubber stack expand when you push the other ones inside. Then regular hose clamp hold them in place... Also just as a precaution, I drill a very small hole on the edge of the stack and use some lock wire from the edge of the stack to the hose clamp. Not sure if you need it, but never had issue with it. I was afraid that it slip out over time since I was tithing hose clamp on the taper part a bit.

What stacks did you end up going with ST3RL0?
Keep us posted. I just bought I set of FZ6 cams off eBay so these would be next on the list if it works out

Ok, so I cut the stock ones short and slid the tapered ones in. I have them sitting flush on the bottom and they are quite tall. Will test it tomorrow

I did cut them off. Can't remember how much... I thing I kept 1/2" straight and push them in as far as it will go. I had to oversize the 4 holes in the airbox so the stack tapper can expand the rubber and go deeper.
