I bought a v star 950 that had the cobra slip-on and the fi2000 O2 already on it. I just upgraded to the Power Flow and it sounds even better. I can feel a performance difference, and I think with all three components on it it looks, sounds, and feels great.

[@akfox38]

Hello. Do you still get quite a bit of decel popping with the cobra slip on and power commander?

[@TheRosko33]

i have an 09 vsatr 950 tourer and i put a cobra slip on exhaust with the cobra fi2000r02 fms and tomorrow my cobra big air intake will be here but with the 2 mods i do have it really made the bike come alive and sounds great

[@phillipbradford9219]

Great video! Ivans flash for ECU will stop ALL popping and give you even better throttle response among other improvements. You can ask anyone that has done it.

[@sgtshak2806]

Thumbs up for Ivan's flash. Much better than any bolt on option.

[@dannys_dodge98]

Just put one on my 2012 v star 950...watched this video a couple times. It made everything easy...had it swapped out in 15 minutes! Thanks

[@stevenk.4083]

James, did you torque the three bolts going to the engine holding the bracket? If so what was the torque spec on those bolts? Many thanks!

[@WillieandLisa2]

Thanks for the video. I am trying to figure out which intake to get for mine, and this helped.

[@pierrezammit3947]

Thanks for answering my question Chris , I enjoyed the video , I watched it a few times to get familiar with the installation task, The bike's response on the throttle is awesome. cheers bro and ride safe. PIerre Malta / Europe

Hey Chris, Thanks so much for this video. I just installed mine today (10/13/20) and if it wouldn't have been for your video I would have had to call Cobra and get the instructions. No foam and no instructions in my box but everything was sealed. LOL Thanks from Michigan

[@RickGoodman1911]

Great tutorial. I just installed the other circular Cobra Air Intake with the K&N filter. Install was very similar. I ended up having to replace the button head screws (1/4 20 x 1/2) with other hex head screws that won't strip out. Also the threading wasn't quite right on the stock screws. Thanks for posting. I would definetly get the FMS. It'll make your bike run like a completely new bike.

[@theirishmahoney]

Thanks for the compliment! I ended up getting the PCV installed on my bike with the auto tune and I love it. My bike runs like a champ and I have it tweaked so I still get great MPG while cruising!

[@apontes]

Nice video tutorial. Thank you for posting.

[@jdavison4578]

Thanks for the video, I am going to install that air intake on my V-Star 1300.

[@theirishmahoney]

Thank you! It was really simple, I would look at getting a FMS as well, I went with the Power Commander V with the Auto Tune and haven't looked back, made a world of a difference!

[@sam33more94]

Do you give maintenance to other bikes??? Like, can you do some repairs.?? My v star 950 might need, I think, clean the carburetor, transmission....do you?? Thank you for the answer

[@franciscotorres845]

Tank you for the video.

[@billmeloche4918]

Good Job!

[@infini1970]

Did you end up getting the fuel management?

[@denizoner2148]

Hello, thank you for the video, I would have a few questions I need to buy the filter separately. I realized the power increase in fact.and the software as well as fuelpak.You can get from the assembly.Linkini you can write.

[@tbublz]

I have a Cobra PI 2000 OR FI 2000 R with stock intake and I set the 3 pods to what the rep said was optimal formy Shogun racing straight exhaust. I get 70 plus mpg. But I'm thinking about this intake system wondering if I could get a noticable amount more MPG.

[@willg7885]

Did u get the fuel management..or tuned

[@joshuamercier1442]

Use the cobra fi2000r power pro tuner. It is all automatic no tuning of pots.

[@stevenk.4083]

Chris, what was the torque spec on both bolts holding the clamp? Great video btw! Thanks!

[@theone2be33]

Tight but not tight

[@theone2be33]

I've got the same intake. Bike breaths so much better! Have you been to Mt. Evans on your bike? Im on the East Coast and have been to Mt. Washington in N.H. with my bike. Would love to go to Mt. Evans some day.

[@douglasisland2813]

This video will likely help some, but if you're handy at all Cobra's instructions are more than adequate to install on the 950 v-star. You should be able to have it installed in minutes.

[@TLInterests]

Good video thxs

[@SirMichaelFoxtrot]

im at 5300ft. Do i have to do Ivans flash for ecu if I want to do this install??

[@jamesweber4938]

I would.

[@SirMichaelFoxtrot]

I am from your past.

[@colemanhigley747]

I'm curious as to how much better the bike ran after you finished all of the upgrades? Was it worth the cost?

[@theirishmahoney]

I'm in Colorado, so it helped the bike a lot with the altitude. It wasn't 'sluggish' off the line (not that it was ever really sluggish) anymore. Better acceleration at speed too. Didn't notice any better or worse has milage as long as I didn't go full throttle of the line, which was really hard not to.

[@colemanhigley747]

@@theirishmahoney thanks for your time

[@theirishmahoney]

@@colemanhigley747 of course, and yes I feel the intake, exhaust, and tuner were worth the price. Made the bike much more fun and ran better.

[@theone2be33]

Of course it was worth the cost!

[@no1cp]

Just installed this on my Fury. It was definitely a bigger pain in the ass than yours. The back rear screw is smashed up against the V-twin, so it makes it near impossible to get a full snug fit. It's not loose, but it makes me kind of nervous going forward.

[@pierrezammit3947]

Hi Chris , I know its been 4 years since you installed the cobra powerflo , I just installed mine on my v star , my question is what do you do when riding in the rain ? do you cover it with something ? Thanks bro , great vlog Cheers pierre

[@theirishmahoney]

No worries! It was something I was concerned with after I installed it as well. After a couple killer storms, I checked the filter and there was a small section at the bottom and front that you could see the oil was starting to fade. I just sprayed a little oil on the filter in that spot and was good to go. Granted, I would only ride 20-30 minutes in a hard rain, but I wasn't concerned about it after that. There is a drain hole at the bottom of the housing and the rain didn't ever bog down my bike, so I assume most of rain drained right out.

[@akfox38]

Hey Chris, What are you riding now or did you give it up?

[@theirishmahoney]

Sadly, got rid of the bike, traffic here is horrible, to many close calls.

[@akfox38]

@@theirishmahoney I hear you , I just started riding two years ago, and although I love it, I wonder how long I should keep it up lol.

[@BlueSprucePOD]

Very nice tutorial video, did you ever do the follow up installing the Cobra PowerPro?

[@theirishmahoney]

+Chris Schroeder Hey Chris, I did not do a video on that sad to say. The install was fairly easy once you take the stock pipes off. The best advice I can give is to install everything and not tighten down any bolts until the end. If my memory is right, you'll start to tighten everything from the headers down. Blue painters tape will be your friend as well so you don't scratch the pipes as you install them. A quick review for you: I've had these pipes for almost two years now. I haven't lost much low end that I can tell from the pipes thanks to the 2-into-1 design, they are much louder than stock or even the Cobra slip on I had. I would describe it as I don't need ear plugs messing around in the city, but for a longer ride, plugs would be welcomed. The pipes have a lower tone to the sound now, so I don't feel like I'm riding a lawn mower. Over the past two years, they have become louder, I'm guessing the baffling is breaking down and the baffle needs to be re-wrapped. But if I remember right, when I got them, I wasn't wanting ear plugs, so it might be the baffling is shot. Would I buy them again? If money was a concern, in a heart beat, I think I paid $400 for them. If I had more funds, I would like to try the Vance & Hines Big Radius 2-into-2. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!

[@BlueSprucePOD]

Thank you for the update!

[@bluegasgarage]

I realize this is an old video but, I wanted to ask if you have any loud knocking sound from your intake?

[@theirishmahoney]

Hey John, I haven't had any knocking from the intake. You will hear the valves more with the intake, and if you have this bike, they are loud enough. You may want to put the stock intake back on to see if the sound is still there...

[@bluegasgarage]

I have the same filter that you do but only have the spoke chrome cover which means the filter is naked so to speak. I think the powerflo housing might be deflecting the loud sound forward. I did re-mount the stock housing and the sound disappeared. Thanks for getting back to me so fast.

[@theirishmahoney]

I have the feeling you're just hearing some top end noise. I'd be concerned if you heard it with the stock air box on. No worries!

[@bluegasgarage]

I hear you about the top end noise it's just that the filter style with no cover is just as loud as my cobra slip-on when accelerating. Sounds terrible. Sadly "Parts Giant" won't let me return it. I'm now out $200. Thanks for your time.

[@frashr]

John, it's "probably" the breather valves you hear knocking - tock-tock-tock-tock can be alarming the first time you hear them with a less restrictive air intake (which also allows noise to come out of the throttle body). If you're not sure have someone look at it.

[@WillieandLisa2]

Did you ever get the fuel management controller?

[@theirishmahoney]

I did, I ended up installing the Power Commander 5. I also installed the WideBand O2 for it so all I had to do was program in the Fuel/Air ratio I wanted to hit and the computer would take over and adjust everything on the fly. That was super helpful riding in the mountains as I went up and down in elevation. Plus it was fun to pull out the laptop to tweak the settings to how I wanted. I programmed mine with a ton of power at WOT and conservative at cruising speed to keep my MPG up.

[@WillieandLisa2]

Chris Mahoney Nice. What year is your bike?

[@theirishmahoney]

Sadly don't have it anymore, but it was a 2009

[@WillieandLisa2]

Chris Mahoney Ahh, I just grabbed a 2015 and I'm looking to do the same stuff as you did

[@jasonbrown7608]

Did you find after installing the slip on anf the cobra air intake that you needed the fuel module?

HW=Hex wrench....just another word for Allen key

[@tbublz]
