Got some vance and hines pipes and like everyone else I got a lot of popping. I've read all the threads regarding the removal kit but rather than waiting on a removal kit, I just removed the black hose from the chrome pipe, put a golf tee in the chrome pipe and then put the black hose back on. I did this with both hoses. Went on a ride and had no more popping plus much better throttle response. Awesome ride today! What's the advantage of installing the removal kit other than the looks of not having all that plumbing up there? Are there any mechanical/electrical issues with simply using something to block the hoses?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434408 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Really cleans up the motor when you remove all that stuff... You do need to pull the electrical connector if you're not using the AIS, though. I'm not sure when happens when it tries to supply air and it's completely plugged.

I just simply wrapped one end of the pipe back onto the other pipe. The reason why I ordered a block off kit is because of the water, and it cleans it up. Haven't gotten around to putting the block off kit on as I'm working on a trailer. Anyway, disabling the ais solved the popping problem completely.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #434535 donelam304 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 476 Re:2008 Roadstar AIS question 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I put the block off kit on my 08*. Simply because it cleaned up the engine. I done the golf tee first and it worked just as good. I ordered the chrome starter cover and the aid kit came with it. So I just put it on. Took all of about 5 minutes to do...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #434618 TVoso (User) God moves mountians. Faith and prayer moves God. Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:2008 Roadstar AIS question 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Well I kinda like that junk out of the way to air to cool the front jug a tad bit more. But I do like all the piping gone from the right side. . .I'm just saying   Logged     Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up!

I don't mind how it looks stock. I guess I never even really noticed it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434937 Warden (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1485 Re:2008 Roadstar AIS question 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I have .45 caliber ACP brass or nickle casings I used. If you want a couple, PM me and I'll send you them.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
