Review Summary:
The hypercharger is nicely made and looks very cool. Install is not difficult even though the instruction are not that great. The tough part is getting the jetting correct. I added the hypercharger and Bubs Big willy pipes at the same time. I installed the jets included and adjusted the needle jet and it still runs lean. I am in the process of experimenting with jet sizes. The biggest problem with this unit is connecting the rubber tube to the air box. It is very difficult to get it to stay on. Having to take the unit off each time to change the jets is a real pain. I have also tried the pod filters and think they have much more performance potential but miss out on the cool look. Installing a non-funcional hyperchager would be totaly uncool !
