Airaid owners, lets hear it!
I would like to hear all the results of the airaid, and if you have any other mods let me know how they're working out. Like, if you had exhaust, and then you installed the airaid, what difference did you notice? For instance, when you installed the exhaust, did you experience low end lost, but then gained some back with the airaid? And if you got the airaid, exhaust and chip let me know. I am interested in all responces. Thanks.

K&N airfilter element only was my first change - couldn't feel any difference.
Added Superchip - very noticeable difference in power throughout the power range, much better shifting & less hunting from OD to 3rd on hills, mainly due to more power.
Airaid - more power in the high rpm range (but not as big a gain as the chip), no difference in low and mid rpm power. Much more agressive sound at full throttle, which I like, but just as quiet as stock at part and low throttle.

I agree with Dirt Bike Dave. Installed the Airaid first. Lots of power and throatier growl at WOT. Installed the Superchip two weeks later. Much better shifting and immediate power at all speeds.
