Hi Guys,
I've got one of the early Gen1 Big Air Boots for sale. Less restriction, better airflow and great induction sound than the later noise restricted later versions.

£50 delivered in UK

Will post overseas, please contact me for postage costs.

I don't think they are the same. The Falco air boots I have seen have oval inlets whereas the RSV have round inlets. That may not apply to all versions/years of Falco but I don't really know.

Pics below show early RSV Big Air Boot on the right with the later more restrictive on the left.

cheers still got the oem one for the Falco just seeing if any little tweaks to help it find its missing ponies lol

I fitted a Pipercross filter as i have had good experiences with them in cars in the past. seen the kit that does away with top of the airbox but the underside of my tank is a mess the foam peeled off and tank has swollen a bit so could see issues there.

I did the open airbox mod and it did take a lot of effort to remove all of the noise deadening foam. I did get it squeeky clean in the end though as I was motivated to get the mod done. Does it make a difference? In performance terms, probably not much on it's own but alongside other mods it's probably worthwhile. In terms of induction nose though it's definitely a win!
