Ive read about the Renegade airbox (removal) kit. How good is it and is a similar thing also availiable elsewhere?

Come to think of it, do I need to buy both airbox kits with Renegade or is there a single kit availiable?

Had mine installed with my cans so cannot comment on it individually. You get an expected increase of at least 5hp though. Evoluzione (correct spellng ?) do a similar thing.

RSC claim their carbon racing cans add 10bhp at the Falco top end.

Does the airkit add 5bhp on top of that as well as eliminate the 5K trough?

I do believe in miracles.

But I think we should be told

Btw that web site has a curious browser effect: it won't allow any other browser window to appear while its displayed. Anyone know how this always on top effect works?

They don't really say it adds 10 hp on top end, just 10.8 power increase. This might mean 2 hp up on stock at 6k rpm, 2 at 7k rpm, etc.
It all adds up in the end.
My airkit added 10hp at 5k rpm and 6 to 8 hp on average from 3k onwards. Add that up and you get at least 56hp power increase! Bloody hell, talk about a magic button!

Okay, okay, allright already! Jeez!

Well, this is what RSC say it produces for your money (lots of) and I know Powermaster's airkit is the dogz bollox cos I uses it, so there you go.

Here's what the airkit does to a Falco with RSC cans and chip:
Airkit & RSC article

This is my bike (except for the standard machine) which shows roughly the increase of the RSCs over stock. It also shows the increase the airkit adds to the torque, which is really felt on the road.
