hello all. i have been doing some research on my new 2008 trx450er. want to put a lrd full system exhaust on it. i was wondering if anyone knows the difference between the 2006, 07, and 08 airboxes. i know the lids are the same 06 thru 09. but the area in question is where the lrd header and 08 airbox are close together on the bike. i havent bought the pipe yet and want to be sure it will fit without touching the airbox. the dealer that has the lrd pipe says it wont fit a 2008 but will fit a 2006 without touching the airbox. i contacted lrd and they said no difference, that the system will fit 06-09. but i looked up factory parts on bikebandit.com and they look the same, but have different part #'s 06 thru 08. i can't view the area on bikebandit that i need to see becuase of the position of the schematic. so what gives? has anyone esle ran into this on an 08 450r? i want to keep my airbox and run a moflo protec airlid. i would appreciate the advice. thanks, lindsey

 

From my understanding there is no difference.

 

as far as i know the air boxs on 06-09 are the same. i have an 08 model and i run a two brothers full exhaust with no problems. if you do have a clearance issue you could always try some of that heat wrap to wrap your pipe up to protect your box from the heat.

 

well my lrd pipe is inbound. we will see if it fits, i am betting it will. thanks for the help everyone.

 

I'm thinking you will be just fine.
