Steel Dragon Performance Velocity Stacks

I have these on my CL450 and they are great! These are the ones that Dime City Cycles sells (thats how I got mine). I'm very happy with them.
 
Those are awesome. These counter some of the issues having to do with pods--especially if you select longer stacks that would effectively smooth the otherwise turbulent intake charge (especially on the outer carbs that would experience significant wind buffeting). I am no genius about these things, but I've heard that, although we're tempted to think that pods provide way more air, the lack of an airbox will sometimes starve the carb of the necessary VELOCITY of the air coming into the carb, hence the use of VELOCITY stacks to smooth and speed the air stream. They are bell-shaped for a reason, and those ones look, as they say, the biz.

EDIT/ADDENDUM: My comment above about turbulence my not be entirely correct, but air velocity and the shape of the charge as it enters the carb is an issue. Here is an excerpt from the guys over a xjbike.com, who have beaten the topic of CV carb pods to death more times than they'd like: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=28832/postdays=0/postorder=asc/highlight=pods/start=30.html

Members bigfitz52 and RickCoMatic have the most knowledge in that thread. Anyway, good luck.
 
I use 'em on my 360. When you install them though, ditch the screen. They've put in a screen on the carb side, which is pretty much the worst possible place. If you want to run a screen instead of fully open stacks, put the screen on the bell end, not the carb end. Ideally, the screen will be shaped like a cone, pointing outwards.
